Work has suddenly gotten hectic and it is my top priority to continue having a life, despite this new development. I have discovered in the past that it’s pretty easy to let our extra-curricular personalities stew within the juice that is corporate life.
On the other hand, I am so over the ‘work hard, party’ harder mantra. Partying is seriously overrated. There is life beyond partying. There’s a lifestyle, which is more balanced but not so totally choreographed, that you squeeze all the fun out of it.
On a different note, a colleague of mine thought he was cracking a topnotch joke when he said to me (at 1 am in the morning): Merril, you have been bought over by Bank of America (ha ha ha!).
Disclaimer: The headline of this post is a little misleading since your DSP Merrill Lynch funds are safe. But I took creative license, the way most people do when I mention my name.
