Ahoy there matey!
When the shit hits the fan, the pirates of Wallstreet have this to say:
“Global equity markets are incorrectly extrapolating a profusion of idiosyncratic risks into a broader perception of systematic risks…”
By Stephen Roach, Chairman Morgan Stanley Asia in “Six experts give their views on the global financial crisis…” in the Financial Times of September 19th.
Is Mr Roach thinking he is a contender in Bullshit Bingo?Â
What should I do with my life?
Good question, if I say so myself, and this questionnaire ( you need to log-in) gives you, when you are really honest, the right answer. I was pleasantly surprised when it confirmed that I should become and architect as I seem to be creative-analytical. I should not be (or want to be) and electrician it said as well. Â
Not happy in your job?

We have created a dedicated site for our Vitafeetleague: www.vitafeetleague.com. We will show photo’s and video’s of our games, and are planning a table as well. We played twice with a total of about 20 companies playing.
Office ghost
Another great definition from the mighty Urban Dictionary:
An employee who maintains a position at a company despite the fact that all of his job duties have been reassigned to other employees. This could be by the ghost’s own design or due to restructuring within the department.
Office Ghosts are particularly effective when they have a big title that comes with an assistant, and a boss in another location because no one is really sure what they do all day, but they still have the ability to step up and take credit once a project is completed.
Employee: I was looking for Michael. Have you seen him?
Assistant: I think he’s in his office but I’m not sure since he always has the door closed. Let me check.
Assistant: No, he’s not in there. He might be in a meeting.
Employee: He’s like the office ghost. I can never find him when I need to talk with him. What does he do all day?
Assistant: Honestly I have no idea. You tell me when you figure it out and we’ll both know.
