My Job

I've been working part time at a downtown investment firm. It's an interesting job. For instance, I have memorized the CUSIP (stock market symbol) for the High Income Opportunity Fund. It's "HIO". Furthermore, I can seamlessly take a sheaf of randomly stacked statements, label and order them by number, then match them with other corresponding numerically ordered statements and re-sort them alphabetically. Ok, so "seamlessly" may be an exaggeration.

In any case, today was very exciting. I'd been wanting to do this for a week or two, and I finally executed today: I used the purple pen. I hope my boss doesn't read this.
