It'll be a rather long week.
What happened? It unfortunately didn't fit in between the lunch meeting and evening conference call.
The life of a workaholic can mean a lot of sleeping on the sofa and missed dinner reservations.

To sum up, your time management skills are rubbish?
Asian stock market. India and China, mostly, but there was some news on some investments based in Germany...
You suddenly started talking a completely foreign language to me. Is the news good or bad?
I believe I might have, yes.
In plain english... I was working, and making some money.

Plain enough. So, some money being not enough to call it a day?
I'm not an important enough man yet for all of Asia and Russia to drop what they're doing and work on my schedule.
Unfortunately.
Yet.

You’re not kidding about the workaholic part are you?
What’s going to happen to you when work runs out?
That will never happen. But, when there's a lull, I catch a few hours of sleep.
Ah-uh, you know about Murphy’s law, right? Now I can agree with you on the benefits of sleep.
Murphy's Law? I know what they say, yes. That's why you need to stay on top of them. Pull out before it all goes downhill--research which ones have potential and invest wisely. It's all about control. Things can't go bad if you don't let them.
Must be nice knowing you have everything in your control.
Control? It’s elusive thing to have when you’re walking in the valley of shadows. Bad and good will always happen, you can’t prevent either one.
You can't prevent it, but you can minimize the impact so that it's essentially negligible, or funnel it towards areas that you can repair with minimal effort.
True you can’t prevent it. Either way no matter what happens, life goes on.
With or without a very nice car. What are you driving these days?
I’ve a restored 1967 Ford Mustang fastback Shelby GT500. I had time on my hands and sold a house; if I was going to have something in the end I made sure it was a good looking car with some grunt.
What about you?
What about you?
Very nice... I drive a 1978. It was my parents'. Not as impressive, I'm afraid.
Still a classic. There’s something about classic cars I just can’t get enough of. Though I will admit I maybe drooled a bit when work let me handle the new Dodge Challenger, god, that thing drove sweet.
