I will never get over that.

I SHOULD have understood. but I didn't. I didn't understand, really understand, until March 11. Someone showed me numbers. I have no recollection who showed me or what the numbers were, but it happened. Same day everyone else figured out the news. I should have figured it out weeks before, but I didn't.

You were providing the information to those who should have understood what you were telling them. Some did, but those at the top didn't listen. -- nm - Meg Apr 1, 21:38 1
- You're right. That was my job. I did it very well. - loosilu Apr 1, 21:49
yeah, I had a few moments where I was like "I should really sell all my stocks, this will probably be bad," and then didn't. - mafic Apr 1, 21:38
But what could you have done differently? Don't beat yourself up about that. -- nm - Mop Apr 1, 21:36 1
- I would have done NOTHING differently, I worked my ass off even when I didn't really get it. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 21:47
You still did better than those members of congress who got the news, sold their stocks and told everyone everything was okay. -- nm - . Apr 1, 21:35 5
- But I didn't do better. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 21:35 4
  - I assume your job comes with some restrictions that come with who you work for. -- nm - . Apr 1, 21:38 1
    - Sure, but there are no restrictions on my comprehension. My job is supposed to be responding. - loosilu Apr 1, 21:51
  - Yes, but it's not all about you. Deep breaths, man. Deep breaths. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 1, 21:38 1
    - aw rafe. It was always about other people in the end. - loosilu Apr 1, 21:54
