shifty news

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Halifax, 2004.01.16

Today at work I was told I'd be on 'shift' next week. Apparently every week one member of the group is on a 10 AM to 7 PM shift. I'd asked during my many interviews if there was any shift work involved, and they'd said no, but really this isn't too outrageous.

A number of us went for drinks after work. Another surprise - the 'engagement' between Keane and Morgan Stanley is only three years in duration. It really sounds as if M/S thinks they're taking quite a risk, with Keane.

After the boozing and gossip, I met with Charlie for dinner and more drinks. We went to a Greek place. It was good.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
