Time short, cash rich
Feb. 16th, 2008 12:27 pmWell, unfortunately, not even the latter is true at the moment. Every morning I just get up and see another bill. It's fun this buy-to-let. Not.
I should be out buying a carpet and/or a lawnmower and/or a garden hose at the moment (or ironing), but, fuck it, I'm on holiday.
Oh, no, I'm not on holiday. Oh well, I don't care. I'm going back to the front room to read The Guardian, or a book, or watch The Wire.
I've got a nice piece to write on CDOs, but I know that it will take me 90 minutes or so, so, maybe tomorrow, which is at least a bit of a designated work day.
++++++++++
I dropped back down to $50 buy-in on Party to clear off the latest even-more-pathetic-than-last-time bonus (a cent a hand, by my reckoning).
I did this partly because I have no shame. If things are going wrong at $100 buy-in, drop back down and rebuild. One of the reasons given against dropping back down is that you tend to call too loosely. But if you are calling too infrequently (a flaw I suspected that I had on Party because of the nature of the game on the IP network), then making looser calls may be no bad thing. It also gives me an opportunity to play around with ideas that might be a bit expensive if they go wrong at the higher level.
This one worked.
