So once again I’ve been MIA for a week, and there’s no way in hell you guys can correctly guess why. No travel, no laziness, and only one hangover…I have actually been doing work! In fact, I’m taking a break from my spreadsheet to write something in this space. How dare the people who are paying me expect me to actually contribute so much to work?!
Needless to say, I’ve been tired, which is a direct result to our low stock price. Depressing. Darron blew by town a few weeks ago and tantalized me with his “start my own business” ideas, but with suddenly 90% of my take-home pay now devoted to paying down the apartment I had no business buying, I’ve decided to divert my energies (previously invested in valuable things like lying down for hours at a time) to actually trying to make something myself, lift my company out of the doldrums, and alleviate some of the burden on myself. At the same time, I know that I won’t really be able to make a huge financial leap if I kept on the same path I am on now, which basically discredits everything I just said in the previous sentence. Damn it, I wish I were David Beckham…with a deeper voice, that is.
Still, I’m super happy these days because various important parts of my life are falling into place, and my long-term strategy of buying one piece of furniture at a time and practicing yoga in my new apartment seems closer and closer with each day. And this is true for other people in my life as well. For instance, I’ve never seen Betty happier…AT ANY OTHER TIME OF MY EXISTENCE! Congratulations, Betty, on graduating from law school, and hopefully for changing all those terrible anti-drug laws they have in New York.
I don’t usually do shout-outs on here because, well, I chew my toenails and have very few friends who accept that about me. Therefore, consider this a big deal. And how dare they accomplish so much while I’m here at my desk, staring at my massive fake DVD collection and wondering if it represents the pinnacle of my achievement here in Shanghai.
But I have three copies of Spider Man 2, what do YOU have!
By the way, new photos have been uploaded.
yay! thanks for giving me the shout out! miss you! come back to NYC and visit me. Betty
