For Sarah

Healthier, huh?

Haven’t been able to even get online for days, since I’ve been trying to get a huge deal signed.  I’ve been in the office since (no joke) Saturday morning.  I mean, I have not left the office since then, and the earliest I might even have a chance at getting out is 5:00 am tomorrow (open of market, when we might announce this deal).  The amazing thing is that it’s not even bothering me that I have billed 90 hours in four days and that I have had six hours sleep in the same amount of time. 

Why, you ask?  Probably two reasons.  First, this is one of those career-making deals, which is great, since it’s coming before I go on leave and the preliminary partnership decision for me will occur while I’m out.  More importantly, though, this is the last time I’m going to do this.  I will not be able to ever do this again.  It’s kind of liberating.  Lots of people in my firm simply refuse to do all-nighters, and I’m going to become one of them.  Very nice thought.

By the way, the no sugar or other unhealthy foods thing is over.  I have lived on nothing but pizza (one is being delivered as I type), Thai food, scones from Starbucks and treats from the vending maching (compliments of the partner on the deal).  Not a good week food-wise.
