I have been awfully busy the last 2 days-had been dodging this mandatory class on the 7 habits of highly effective people but finally succumbed to repeated reminders (and threats) from HR. This means that my work day has effectively doubled. I attend the class at a city hotel from 8:30-6ish and then do my regular work in the evenings.
Maybe that job in Investment banking wouldn't all that bad? I could atleast drive myself to spontanous orgasm by looking at my bank balance when I feel depressed :-)
Honestly, the class is pretty good and is being taught by our CFO and general counsel so the discussions are pertinent and insightful. The food ain't bad either-have been to an Indonesian and Japanese restaurant so far.
I also find the class more tuned towards self-actualization than your professional life. The questions that are put before you can be a bit unsettling. If you died tomorrow, what would your epitaph read for example? Did you have a "mission statement" for your life? Would you be remembered as a good son, brother, spouse or uncle? Would there even be something worthy to put on your epitaph?
