So the IT folks at my company called me today and told me that I am scheduled for a Windows 7 upgrade and that I should block 3-4 hours for it soon. I talked to my manager that I want to upgrade to an SSD along with Windows 7 while extolling all the benefits that come with an SSD and she approved!


I have had tremendous experience with the SSD on my home PC and am really excited about the sub 15 second boot up times and general increase in overall speed that comes with SSDs. I don't think I'll ever buy another computer with a traditional HDD.

So I just learned my next big project will be in San Antonio, for six months, starting in January. I'll be flying back and forth for the weekends.

Anyone in here familiar with San Antonio? I've been a few times when I was young, but I wonder what the nightlife and people are like. I'm also wondering if I should Rosetta Stone the shite out of some Spanish.

Level 1 next Saturday. Putting on the finishing touches. In retrospect the material is pretty simple, there's just a fricking lot of it.

Best of luck. I just got through the first "volume" yesterday and taking the exam in June. Looking at the amount of information is daunting

Didn't pass REG on the first go. Not a surprise, but still a little disappointment. I took BEC yesterday though and I think it went well; hoping for the best.

Sorry to hear, good luck bro, I'm sure you'll handle biz. Monday is going to suck, I've gotten about 15 emails today all with "asap" attached to each of them. Bishes be crazy if they think I'm doing any of this shite before Monday.

Accountants, what the proper way to think about a working capital deficit when looking at enterprise value? Got into a big debate over how it is properly treated today w/ some guys at work. What says the MT?

We normalize (either historical average if that works or as a percentage of sales if not) it out when doing DCFs (not always for interim periods but always for the terminal) because its not realistic to assume that it will be a "source" (eg subtracting a negative change nwc is an add back of cash) of cash indefinitely into the future. I run into this regularly.
