Quote of the day: W.H. Auden

"How happy the lot of the mathematician! He is judged solely by his peers, and the standard is so high that no colleague or rival can ever win a reputation he does not deserve. No cashier writes a letter to the press complaining about the incomprehensibility of Modern Mathematics and comparing it unfavorably with the good old days when mathematicians were content to paper irregularly shaped rooms and fill bathtubs without closing the waste pipe."





The thing I love most about my job is being judged on quota and the thing I hate most about my job is being judged on quota. I hate it because it stresses me out but I love it when I hit. I love it this week because I learned that my 18 month streak of hitting quota will continue. It makes buying a house a little less stressful.
