I've been so busy with non-research job responsibilities for the last two weeks.... it's really starting to get on my nerves. We are hosting a swanky dinner in DC at a conference and I was in charge of picking the restaurant and the menu, managin...

Feel like I've been repeatedly kicked in the face.... for the past week and half my life has revolved around getting our webpage up and running for this big industry conference that my boss and I are hosting. Conference is a big deal for our com...

2008-01-10T16:32:18Z

Spent over an hour this morning on the phone with this London-based analyst that is relocating to Radnor. He started the interview with three analytical/math questions.... and I only got the fraction-question correct. 5 min in to the interview ...

Pursuing this Job? Let's flip a coin....

2007-12-19T20:30:30Z

I updated my resume and sent it on to that headhunter (I help interns edit their resumes all the time - I forgot what a pain in the ass it is!!!). The guy who is hiring lives in London, but his wife's family is in Radnor - so it looks like I'm i...

Apparently, I'm a BadAss

2007-12-18T15:18:55Z

The head of my department, who I have mentioned numerous times, is a slimeball lacking social skills. He tries to find lame ways to include himself in conversation and doesn't know when to stop talking. There's a nice German expression for thes...

It's a strange, strange world.

Got a call today from an executive search firm. Its a slow day, and I was in a good mood, so I was willing to hear what he had to say. Turns out his client is a London bank looking to expand its operations to PHILADELPHIA and is interested in h...

A quick look back....

2007-10-31T15:18:21Z

One of the nicest things about having this blog is its ability to allow me to look back. Hard to believe that just a year ago, I was working at {Big NY Investment Bank} nervously waiting for {Little Philly Co} to make me an offer to return. Wow...

Fashion = Pain

2007-10-24T00:27:47Z

Today I wore my new black & white shoes that I "thought" were absolutely fabulous, even if they did pinch my toes. I've already worn them a few times, so I figured by now I'm through the worst of it as far as breaking them in goes. WRONG. I ha...

Work Grouchyness....

2007-10-11T13:40:45Z

I have been slaving away on a comprehensive industry report. Our Associate and I have been working on this thing for the better part of the last 5 or 6 weeks. My boss, who tends to procrastinate on the really important stuff, hadn't written a l...

Catching up.... Conference Antidokes

2007-10-09T02:22:30Z

Off to a rocky start: I arrive in to the hotel on Sunday around 5pm, a few hours later than planned because of travel-related nonsense - so much for lounging at the pool. What was I thinking? The Welcome Reception, which is an ideal time for ex...
