The End and the Beginning

It finally happened. Since the day Ken Lewis swooped in and bought up Merrill Lynch, we all knew the day would one day come, and it finally did. Last Friday was the day, the call came in with a caller ID of a Conference Room on the 5th floor (we're on the 2nd). At first my boss turned to another co-worker Max and just said his name and the office number. As Max was walking back onto the floor, the boss answered another call from "Conference Room" and turned and said "Ranjan" while shaking his head. It was time. 

I began July 7th, 2002. I ended January 22nd, 2009. It was truly an amazing ride, with my career at BofA set against the backdrop of the wild ride of Wall Street itself.
