I am working with the cutest 21 year old.

Go figure.

…..applying for a new job. I always thought I’d be loyal to the firm.

But as I’m sitting here typing an e-mail reply to close a deal with a client in Silicon Valley at 8:15pm, because our dear American friends are 6 hours behind, with a stomach ache that I suspect is either gastritis or ulcer (can’t decide), I want to escape. To be honest, I don’t give a rat’s ass whether they want to dispose of their UK subsidiary or not. Yes someone’s getting rich from this. All I know is that its not ME.

If I do it before 6th October I only need to give one months notice. After that they tie you down to 3 fecking months. Bollocks. I left it too late.

And what new job will I be applying to? You’d think that I’d be sensible after Corporate Finance. Well its a coin toss between Assistant Buyer at LK Bennett or Equity Analyst at Goldmans, both of which will require me to get my ass out of Reading and move to London. So fingers crossed that I get the LK Bennett job. Think 40% staff discount for the most gorgeous shoes/clothes/accessories. Heaven…..And I’d be making a difference as I might have some form of influence on UK fashion. And think of all the shoes/clothes/accessories/shoes….yeah the shoes are gorgeous. I now just have to get into the mindset of taking the tube at the height of summer.

In the meantime….back to the damn deal.
