So Joephet has been doing rather well, as we approach a year of whatever it is that it's been, which is of course hard to pin down in het-bujii terms, but that's also fine by me. His new legal internship proves he's useful. Which is incredibly sexy, and not something that most people can genuinely claim, I'm afraid. Which of course isn't true in some sense, so let me get all definitional: of course people do things, and these things lead to other things--Asset Relations Associates, Investment Management Associates serve their purposes, but usefulness on my view also requires some sort of immediacy (maybe I'm just impatient)--it's a matter of measurable progress, and of course indispensability, which was at some point a life goal--but this is more of a vestigial Randist idea, and more about internal self-actualization than one's external relations. But I'm getting in a loop-de-loop here with terms. The point is, in Rob Chin terms, if you're going to the fiesta, be ready to kick ass. Otherwise, they're not going to invite you to the next fiesta.

Joephet kicks ass.
