Portfolio manager at ACI Capital, an investment form in New York + Director of acquisitions at DRA Advisors, a real estate investment firm in new York. Aus der Kennenlern-Anekdote:
�During the brief ride, they discussed �the dangers of financial leverage, the relative merits of real estate versus fixed-income as an asset class and the possibility that New York was experiencing a housing bubble.�
Not usually the sort of talk that leads to romance. �He asked for my phone number as we were about to part ways,� she said, recalling how they talked for 10 minutes after getting off the train. �Against my instincts, I gave him my office number, figuring that anyone who would talk about fixed-income returns on the subway probably would not turn out to be a stalker.� Mr. Bodenstein remembered the moment: �As she handed me her business card, she said, �Well, you don�t look like an ax murderer!� � �
Ich versuche alles, mich davon abzuhalten, unsympatischerweise auf die falsche Verwendung von �against my instincts� hinzuweisen (das waere ja, wenn er fuer sie wie ein Axtmoerder ausgesehen haette. Es muss natuerlich �against my usual practice� heissen oder so. Man kann das auf alle moeglichen Arten bezeichnend finden, was sie da fuer ihre instincts missversteht, aber man kann es natuerlich auch bleiben lassen.), aber es geht nicht, es geht nicht. Ich muss es tun. Voellig against my instincts.

War das eigentlich schon immer so, dass die Leute vorwiegend Berufe haben, die entweder ganz klar voellig nutzlos sind, oder wo man nicht und nicht weiss, was in aller Welt sie da eigentlich treiben als so ein director of marketing oder sales representative oder senior merchandiser? Oder wissen das alle anderen und bloss ich nicht, weil ich so irrsinnig weltfremd bin?
Gab es nicht irgendwann mal eine Zeit, wo die Leute nachvollziehbare Berufe hatten, Baecker und Kurzwarenverkaeufer, Arzt, Gefanegniswaerter, oder meinetwegen Computerprogrammierer, Fabrikdirektor, Ingenieur oder sowas? Oder bin ich da einer romantischen Illusion aufgesessen?
Naja, ganz zu schweigen von all den Berufen, die mit der eigentlichen Produktion zu tun hatten. Die sind ja sowieso weg. Jesus, ich moechte ein paar Huehner haben.
