“Like all service professions, investment banking is fundamentally a sales job.

Uh, more like a blow job. Someone's always giving you something you don't want to work on. You're under pressure to perform. You have to work with lots of a-holes. You earn a lot of money, but feel like a whore (because essentially you are). At the end of the day, you just want to relax and not think about either your work or the next day. And sometimes people want to ram it up in you. After just a few years, you're burnt out. Not too many old investment bankers...or hookers.

Thadius R. Rogers is noticably quiet when it comes to offering support for Kerveil. Wonder why???

Thadius only helps hot girls. Perhaps the French Foreign Legion can help Kerveil. Or McDonalds - purveyor of French Fries.

Lindsay was downtown slutty hot. This girl is adorable cutie hot. Julie, that dress suits you but I suggest one size smaller. You wear it well.

Jerome is sooooo good-looking. The pink tie he wore in the NY Times article! That's what I love about European men, they can wear pink with élan.

I am glad to say AAPL had kept their personal touch at some level. I emailed Steve Jobs about an irksome issue with my Macbook, and got a call back and they helped get it resolved. It was reassuring that contacting him still gets results and that they generally haven't grown too big to care. I have seen the same thing when visiting the Apple Store...

Yeah I am writing this on that Macbook...even though I work on Windows all week at work.

That said, S.Jobs is a fearsome perfectionist with a temper from what some say. And I do miss thinkSecret, but otherwise I'm reasonably satisfied with Apple. And they do well with a falling dollar as their international sales explode.
