innapproriate

the guy that got his buddy to try and torpedo me for a job at the hedge fund we used to work at texted me today. he knew i had gone in there for an interview and asked me if i had any tips of what my come up in the technical test and interview. dude, we are both going for the same job and you already have a contract elsewhere. dont take the piss and dont ask me shit like that. why would i give you the answers to the technical test and give you an advantage over me?. 

i dont want a reference and i dont want to be torpedoed. lets just both go to the interview and get judged on what we know. if i give you the answers and information about the tricky questions then you will look good and i will look shit. i thought it was an inappropriate question to ask me. i know you keep going on about your money troubles but you have been making 8 grand a month for about a year and if you choose to piss it up against the wall, that aint nothing to do with me. dont live like a 'baller. you are not. 

if there are any jobs i hear about that i am not going for i always pass them on to him. thats how he got his current contract. i had interviewed at a bank but they took 4 weeks to make me an offer and in the meantime i had accepted another contract and so i suggested they call this guy as i knew he could do the job and he ended up starting there a week later. i am not shitting on anyone and will always pass on good leads about roles going anywhere. i am happy to go up against all the competition and if i am good enough, thats fine and if i am not, then thats fine too. i do wonder what might have happened if he had gone for the interview first at the hedge fund and then i asked him for 'some tips'. 

in other news i made another 4 grand today, on top of the 12 grand i made on friday, on some shares that i thought were undervalued, and it turns out they were. at this rate i might start my own hedge fund. :-)

have been listening to the editors single a bit more and it is growing on me. its sounding a little less like u2 than it initially did, which is a good thing because i fucking hate u2. i have their albums upto achtung baby and then everything after that is horseshit. 

here is some more good pop music. ian carey & rosette feat timbaland. they played this at the gym this evening. lingerie model was leaving just as i was going in. bad timing. i do like the view when training.
