Well, Melinda, Easter is quite the opposite of what you might suppose. It is really one of our busier seasons. I've been on the go all weekend with very little time to catch up on my posts. After all anytime the Pope gives a big mass is a busy day for the Devil, so don't get me started on that now.
But this weekend with this whole Good Friday/Easter thing, the Devil was really in a snit. He had us running around at lightning speed, with a list of chores that wouldn't even fit on one CD. Can you imagine how many Easter dresses there are to wrinkle before church services? How many kids need turning before they finish getting dressed up for their parents? I mean we've made some progress in recent years, but the numbers are staggering. And then there's Passover.
Oh, we have our high profile moments too. You probably didn't notice me yesterday at the Master's golf tournament, but I was right there on the 18th green. This O'Meara guy finally came around and signed his contract with us, so I was there to insure his putt went in and to keep the others out. You have no idea how hard that is. It is just such seamless efforts as that that are the mark of a real pro. (You may have noticed how vain I am, another mark of a true satanist.)
But anyway, no sooner is the day over here than it's back to the daily grind of working the markets. It's start in Japan and work toward Europe and end in the US, before starting all over again. There is much mischief to be made and as you may know traders will sell their souls for a 1/4 point.
So you see, it may just look to you like we took the weekend off, but believe me, you just can't imagine what an effort it was. I am exhausted, and we are hours away from an open in New York. |
