(Conversation, today, with a London Associate in the aftermath of yesterday's global market plunge.)
Me: So how is everyone taking yesterday's market turmoil?
Her: Lots of happy faces, actually.
Me: Huh?
Her: Absolutely! People are hoping that some IPOs will be shelved.
Me: And this is good?
Her: Absolutely! Our work load is completely unmanageable. This might actually get the work load back down to levels that are merely unreasonable.
Me: And...
Her: Well, maybe now I will have the time to look for another job!
