After a solid last week, I didn't get into work before 9am this week (10am today). It was bad, guys. I need better motivation. Morning stuff at work needs to be more engaging. I need something to do besides read the paper or call in to C-SPAN shows and filibuster about my pet issues, which are mostly constitutional amendments denying robots suffrage or the ability to hold federal office (yep - that's me!). I just don't think it is a good idea to have robots boss us around. However, I'm not in favor of limiting it to humans, since super-intelligent extra-terrestrials might make good leaders, if they become U.S. citizens.
Things I have drank recently: water, chocolate milk, Coke Zero, Cherry Coke Zero, Diet Dr Pepper, Diet Mt Dew, Sierra MIst Zero, Diet Pepsi, wine: something from Rioja, something from I think France, but it could've been anywhere, something else from Eastern WA, and another from Oregon.
Fun fact: On an M&A deal, a lead bank might make around 4%. A senior banker might get 10% of the bank's fee. For every $1b, the bank brings in $40m, of which $4m is going to the senior banker. This is why the ex-bankers who work at my office all have ranches somewhere in the Rockies and live in giant mansions and probably take helicopters to work.
