Responsibility Sucks
Now that I am two years qualified I seem to be entrusted with giving advice on my own, and sole responsibility for deals. For example, I was in Milan last week (ker-lang), and lots of very important people were listening to what I was saying, and structuring some multi-million dollar transaction on the basis of my advice. Dicks. Some people would welcome this, as many people enjoy the thrill of greater responsibility, but not me mister. Loads of trainees whinge when they aren't given enough responsibility. Idiots. My happiest time at work was when I was in Singapore doing crap trainee work with no deadlines. Stroll into the office at 10am, 2hours of proofreading, long lunch, bit more proof-reading, then out of the office by 6 to hit the Buzz Bar for a few slippery nipples. Stress free life, being paid loadsamoney to do the job of a monkey. Brilliant. I'm thinking of asking the head of the department if I can be an first seat trainee (preferably overseas) again.
