The author of this blog is a mild-mannered executive assistant at a boutique asset management firm, who moonlights as an art history instructor when the world gets its shit together and conspires to pay her for her knowledge, not simply her organizational skills. The other day, a former higher-up at Goldman Sachs told her she could be a COO someday, despite the fact that she uses a calculator to determine the ages of her friends. Two days later, she peddled her intellectual wares at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston for free. She thinks this model is flawed indeed.
Professionally speaking, she’s alone, but not actually all that lonely.
