Whew… busy. Very busy. Our underwriting attorney has been fired, or quit, or took another job – these things are never made public which lets the rest of us gophers in the office toss about wild speculations and rumours. It’s not good for morale. Our department manager is returning from a month-long absence to fill the void left by the attorney, a position for which she is utterly unqualified. So I’ve been applying for jobs left and right – I think I’ve sent out like 15 resumes in the last week or so.

And there’s school. My class was cancelled last week due to a construction accident and an exploding transformer (no word on whether it was a decepticon) – which was nice, except it was the last class session before the 9/11 final exam. And I’ve got a paper yet to write for my independent study in economics. Running out of time.

And, I’ve been offering my services to a close friend who is trying to pitch a start-up company to a bunch of venture capitalists in the near future, basically I’ve been proofing and editing their business plan, and offering whatever modicum of advice I’m capable of. I’ve got 20 pages or so left to edit, and it’s due this PM so he can present it to his partners. If all goes well, however, you might see us on the cover of Soldier of Fortune magazine sometime in the future.

Not sure how much I’ll be around over the holiday weekend, the weather here is supposed to be nice (if not a little cloudy) and I’d like to get out and hit the singletrack. Oh, and college football starts. Go Irish! errr, Chippewas…
