A year after that in 1999 I went to Warburg Dillon Read, an investment bank in midtown, as a word processor. I worked there for 5 years, doing the same thing day in and day out. In 5 years, Warburg Dillon Read became UBS Warburg then UBS Investment Bank.

The last 3 years I was there because it was the only job I could find that paid well, especially after 9-11-2001 and the recession that followed.

Anyway, I've been so depressed about working there for the longest time.

Last week on Craigslist I saw an ad for a job in a bike shop and sent my resume and got hired. I've been there a week now and I like the job, but the pay is really low.

I quit my office job finally... told them on my birthday this past Wednesday. Anyway, I'm happy but the change is a bit of a shock to me, I'm still in a daze about it all.
