Wow.
January 2, 2012
I don’t think I’ve ever neglected anything so much ever. One of my new years resolutions is to re-start this blog (perhaps on a new site) and have it solely be focused on the going-ons of the last four years of my worklife.
Since August, I’ve been cooking up a bunch of things. Namely, this fashionable financier(e) has luckily gotten into business school! Between essay writing, stressing/crying, and the loads of actual work I’ve been doing, many things took a back seat (including the fact that I haven’t been to the gym in about 2 months; don’t worry – I haven’t become a jabba-the-hut mess yet).
Let me re-organize these blog posts, put them into a coherent story with a new host, and hopefully, there’ll be a proper continuous story that everyone can read. I expect to have some time, especially when I leave my current job in private equity, which coincidentally I love. Everyone automatically assumes that when I say I’m going to b-school, it’s because I hate my job/industry/etc. Over the past few months though, I’ve realized that I really do like my firm (despite the ups and downs), I love the people, and I like the sector. But, I feel like I need to receive a more formal education in bi’ness and also broaden my horizon. There are a bunch of things that I’ve always wanted to dabble in and now’s the chance to explore.
It means a great deal to me that some of you still read this – I truly appreciate it.
Here’s to a new and happy 2012!

Fun blog, had quite a few laughs! Why don’t you tweet? 140words is something you can cover pretty timelessly but still enough to get something said. Obviously wouldn’t replace full blog posts but better than nothing (plus can keep updated of current events while you get back to writing the analyst spook stories!)
Happy New Year!

Wow indeed..! Congrats on taking up B-school, are they sponsoring you?
I look forward to the story, Your writing has this unique ease, such a nice flow!
On a side note It’s crazy how the years roll on, I’ve followed your blog since the beginning and now I’ve just graduated Uni about to start my career in PE. (Sydney, Australia)
Cheers.

Hello…. which B-school are you enrolling in?
I share your sentiment on wanting to go back to school…. mostly because I graduated in Marketing but ended up working in Corporate Finance for a couple of years….

Happy new year!
Thanks for the update, it’s been a long time. Congratulation on getting to b-school. I am sure it will prove to be an invaluable experience (especially the people!).
My advice though, don’t spend time on changing your blog host or whatever, we like the fashion financier the way it is and we fine way more joy on learning what’s going on for you in the previous year than than on having a new design to look at. Hope to read you soon.
Cheers,
Adrien
