After 18 horrendous months in the worst financial crisis my company basically decided to shut down my division. That sucks. But I wasn't happy there anyway and had already started the job hunt process. Its funny, after all the the self-promises and proclamations that I wouldn't go back to finance that's exactly what happened. I know, what? But in my defense, I really really enjoyed my work. I like working the deals, running the numbers, deciding what to invest in and beating up bankers and lawyers :). But what I hated about my job was the culture. Its a problem in the industry really but anyway it isn't worth it to stay in such a toxic environment so I'm on the move.After all this went down the first thing I needed was a break. Luckily, one of my good friends happened to be heading to Barbados for a week where her parents had retired. PERFECT.It took about 5,000 transfers but I finally made it to Barbados. It was the best week of relaxation and beach. My friend's parents have a house on a golf course and we spent most of our time hanging by their pool and sipping rum cocktails. We worked out, cooked dinner and checked out a few of the beaches. My friend and her parents were just amazing for hosting me! I don't have many photos but this one really just captures our week:
