I can't even go outside it's so nice...
There are certain days in New York that are just amazing. Today is one of them. It's so incredibly beautiful outside. I just look out the window and want to cry a little bit. I'm 70 degrees and breezy and sunny. What more could you ask for? I've yet to actually make it outside today other than walking to work this morning. I've been on this skipping lunch thing while at work. I get a whopping $17 for every lunch I skip so I suppose it's worth it. Better than paying out $5 for lunch. I brought myself a delectible PB&J for lunch today...it was...well...yeah...a PB&J.
So a woman that I work with went to U.Texas law and has a friend of hers that is the portfolio manager/founder of a hedge fund in Austin. She got me his contact information today, so I forwarded him my resume. I proceeded to give him a call and he told me he'd take a look and give me a call back. That was around 3 hours ago. Not that they guy isn't busy or anything, but I just wish he's get on the horn and give me a call. Hopefully he'll either know someone that needs a bright Columbia graduate or he'll want to hire me himself. Either way, I may be making another trip down to Austin in a week or two. Even if he doesn't get me anything, at least I've got my foot in the door SOMEWHERE in Austin. I've gotten quite a few emails in the past few days from firms in Austin, and all of them tell me that they are going to look elsewhere. What fun!
Work has changed...once again. Now, I am back to being the slave of the most senior recruiter. She's a nice woman, but she's a slave driver when it comes down to it. But today, she's been strange. I feel like she's not very organized, so she's not been giving me much to do. Hence me having time to blog a little bit. Honestly, I don't really care about no longer "working for myself" but hell, it's a pain in the ass working directly under someone. Oh well. I just keep telling myself that it's only for another month or so and then I'll be done with it. I can't wait.
Okay, so I figure that I should explain the pictures that I've been posting. Well, ever since I was removed from school two years ago, I've been getting more and more into photography. These pictures that I have posted are some of my favorites that I have made in the past two years. Ever since school has started, I have been quite lax in using my camera (Canon Rebel XT) so I've really not been having much production, but once school is over, I intend to get back on track and really start building up my portfolio again. As it currently stands, I have to go through what I have and make some more selections because I have a plethora of quality images, it's just a matter of finding them and converting them to fit onto the blog.
I've gotta go and bother my slave driver to give me some whippings.
