I-banking....

First Year #1: "Did you hear about the [big investment bank] presentation yesterday?"
First Year #2: "No."
First Year #1: "This managing director is up in front of the podium answering a question about work-life balance, with junior guys sitting behind him. Twenty seconds after the question one of the junior guys literally passes out and falls out of his chair onto the stage. They called the paramedics and everything. It was crazy."
First Year #2: "Is he ok?"
First Year #1: "Fine, apparently. Exhaustion. Just got off the plane from London, no sleep for a week because of a deal he was working. And the managing director kept talking about the great work-life balance..."
First Year #2: "They have a London office? Are they hiring for the London office?"

Take a second to help fight AIDS!

Today, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the pharmaceutical monolith that charges  
nearly $1,000 for a 30 day supply of one of its HIV/AIDS medications,   is
donating $1 to the National AIDS Fund for each person who simply   visits
their website and "virtually lights a candle." The tally is   near 800,000
now.

Please, please take a minute to "light a candle":

This really will take just a second!! ?br>

Teach for America: Apply Now!

Because you have the chance to make an incredible difference in the life of those who need it most. Because you understand the urgency of this issue and know just how powerful a driver for change you can be.

This just made my day...

So I do a little bit of ad hoc work, helping human rights advocates from developing nations strengthen their letter writing and foundation proposal skills. Here's an e-mail from a Nigerian doctor that just made my day:

Dear Sharon,

thanks for assisting me with the letterhead today.

I promise that from today onwards, I will not support Bush again!

regards!
muanya.


It's nice to know you've made a difference!!!
