Elisabeth Fosslien’s “14 ways an economist says ‘I love you’” did the rounds of the blogosphere around Valentine’s Day, and her latest, “Portrait of the young grad as an analyst” is even better.
“Analyst” is a very broad job description — as Fosslien wryly notes, it means “your family and friends have no idea what you do at work” — and my job is a bit different from the one depicted, but enough of it rang true to make me laugh. I articularly enjoyed:
The Roadblocks
The Work
And most of all:
The Bonds Created by Time of Day in Office
