First time working late since I have to complete a mini-project for my boss and I the ever eager intern want to present it to him before the deadline. I wonder how longer before cynicism sets in and my youthful zest is replaced by a hardened weariness of any task. However at the moment I'm relishing the challenges (forgive me for the cliche however certain interns got hold of my web address and are regular readers so I've got to go along with the party line for fear of being reported to Big Brother:) and there truly is an exponential learning curve. I'm under the tutelage of a director, which is no small thing, and the man is a veritable genius in computational finance. I think that the education that I'm receiving here is augmenting years of academia and developing it to a practical level. On a social level work is fun. The interns are nice people (again the customary compliment:) though our social events seem to have subsided so sadly I have no further reason to complain about their penchant for liquor. Of course I've gotten alot of joshing for my earlier comments (I would have linked to the post but I can't seem to load my website and this has been a continual problem for the past few weeks, I wonder if anybody can actually load it on their web?) on their drinking habits and alas I've learnt to be wary of the wrath of alcoholics. Even though I've mortgaged my soul at the tender age of 18 I've had spinoff effects since I'm crafting my wit (though others would vehemently disagree since according to some Zack just can't be funny), always important, and furthermore I'm sure my posture is improving since I've been bending over backwards these past few weeks. All in all I really love working, it's a phase of life I'm relishing and I'm immensely grateful that I have the job that I have. It's a structured environment with fun-loving yet smart people, a preeminent and continually evolving bank (DrKW, the company and the name, is a wholesome unison of British conservatism, German determination and American drive) and a genius for a boss. I couldn't ask for more and I'm deeply satisfied with what I have and I owe it to Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, and my boss*, for having the faith & the courage to take on this young buck. As for the interns closely reading this website for any slips, I kinda like you guys as well. Of course it goes without mention that I'm in perpetual gratitude to my loved ones, foremost my parents and brothers, and others who have shaped my environment so that I could become the person that I am today. Though of course there are always those who might believe they did in fact a disservice to humanity especially by raising someone so blunt and boisterous:) latif.blogspot.com Zachary Latif 19:48
