Damn this place has grown quiet. I used to come here every day to catch up on everything, but now once a week's often more then enough.
Anyway, nothing special has been going on as of late.
Work's busy, I had a project at Europe's largest settlement bank that was absolutely brutal, 70+ hour weeks were common up until the middle of January, but I really did learn a lot about it (like how much coffee I can tolerate before complete shutdown). I have a new project now at the world's largest bank (not allowed to disclose client names, but shouldn't be too difficult to figure out, look at balance totals). A certain type of activities that used to be done in London and Paris are being centralized in Brussels, and we have been brought in the transit period, after they fired a certain big consultancy firm that was absolutely useless. It's a lot of work, but pretty nice, as I spend half my time in London or Paris on the company's money  .
I've also started studying for a CFA, specialist analyst certification, but I haven't really been able to keep up with it. I do recognize certain aspects of my job though, so that should speed up at least some parts I hope.
Moving in with the girlfriend took some adjusting, but I think that we sorted everything out. All in all, it went more smoothly than I thought, but there were still some rough times.
How has everyone been these last weeks/months?
