It has already been a while since my last post. Ok, nothing really important happened in the meantime. My orientation definitively improved, I spent some more money on clothes – I can already deal with the high prices, I just ignore them and buy, just that simple – and I am already used to staying in office for 11 hours each day.

I admit that it could be worse, there are investment banker who almost live in there office and who are envy on guys like me who can leave at between 7 and 8. But still the first time was hard for me too. Nice greetings to Nacho, Rodrigo, and Caio who probable need to work like “real” investment banker, sorry guys.

What else happened? My girlfriend Christiane visited me during the last weekend. That meant a free Friday, lots of shopping (and spending), and sight-seeing to me. I really enjoyed the time and was happy to have her around.

A week earlier, I finally found time to do some sports, I was running in the neighbourhood and found a nice and close-by park and a small & affordable gym. In order to find some balance, I gonna enrol. Just working and going out during weekends is not really satisfying.

A short excurse back to work. I hosted my first presentation today. That means that I had the CEO of a company called QuantHouse coming to present their Algo Trading Tool and that I took the part of presenting our company and led through the whole procedure – I asked the questions. Furthermore my duties were broaden in the meantime. I am now also dealing with Icelandic inflation-linked amortising bonds and option strategies on them. Very interesting, especially as I never had anything to do with such instruments.

Sorry for that boring post again.....
