Rock Crushing

As my good friend Brian Murphy always said, there are many great phrases, similes, and metaphors in I-banking. One of those is "Rock Crushing." Essentially this means doing grunt work that is actually very important, but not necessarily mentally stimulating...unless you are really applying yourself.

Today I learned about rock-crushing that was all about.

It started with a vague request that seemed innocent enough, but ended up taking more than 4 hours. I get the feeling that these requests are common, and ultimately the same thing will take me 45 minutes down the road (at least I hope). But I am reveling in these opportunities to learn from every tiny little task. I really think that is the key to getting the most out of this experience. As with anything else, your attitude and approach make all the difference in the world.

I am not sure how long I will keep up my daily post, and I am not sure how well written they are considering the time of day--but hopefully they are interesting to read.

Cheers!
