Just finished an exam and I need to kill some time
Well as the title suggests I just had an exam. It was on financial markets. A bit dry but kind of interesting; but then who really wants to know what year the ASX demutualised or what time it went to T+3 settlements..I'm not sure whether I like it or not.. The exam I just came out of was a 90 min, 60 question multiple choice monster.... Thank God it wasn't an essay type exam, I would have been very much in the poo if it hadn't been. I spent a majority of the weekend (which was specifically left empty for study) playing freelancer... It's a good game and while it does involve trading the exam didn't ask where one could get the best price on diamonds in the Sirius System or what freighter offered the greatest yield on investment.
What really didn't help matters, was that instead of studying today I went and played 9 holes of Bolf with the boys (Bolf = beer + golf)..
All in all it was a good day though.. went to work for about 4 hours... all I really did was interview two guys (who made me feel old, will get to this later), respond to about 5 emails and then had a couple of coffees and caught up with a co-worker who has been in Tas for the last couple of weeks on holidays. Then I went home, had lunch, put the clubs in the car (and a couple of pencils to colour in the exam dot sheet thingy) and headed to Victoria Park golf course.. nice day I think. If only they all weren't more like that... more Bolf on Friday though, this time it be for 18 holes of fun and handbrake turns in the buggy.
Anyway, back to these couple of guys making me feel old today... I was reading through their CVs and it had their birth dates... they were born in 88 and I nearly chucked them because I thought they must be at school still or something.. but I did the calc before I tossed them and they were 18.... made me feel like old man winter, even though I'm not that far behind them in the scheme of things... speaking of old, I'm getting too old to be at uni..by far... There are two points I would like to make in relation to this so I might just use some dot points:
--> At the start of this year all the new people were even more obvious than normal because they all looked so fresh faced and innocent... it looked like a school tour through the uni... it was disturbing.. a couple of years ago I couldn't tell the difference...
--> I take a look a a nice girl walking past and she looks like she is about 12... fuck .....
Sweet.. that managed to take up the required amount of time without resorting to making up a poem about glen and his sperm eating tendencies. ..
