FW: Troubled Firm Staff Prepare For Another Major Job Cull
I'm surprised to see the last paragraph...

There's clearly a major job cull going to be announced shortly at Lehman Brothers, and it could come before September 15th, the day the firm is due to announce its third-quarter earnings.
The only issue, it seems, is how many employees are likely to be laid-off during the next round (Lehman is thought to have already chopped around 6,000 heads, or approximately 20% of headcount, in the last year or so). The New York Times, which claims to have spoken to an unnamed person 'briefed on the plans', puts the number as high as 1,500. Reuters, quoting an unnamed 'person familiar with the matter', says that the figure is nearer 1,200, while Bloomberg's sources say that as many as 1,000 staff are likely to be culled. Whatever way you look at it, its not looking good. And the smart money is now saying that Lehman is likely to announce a series of cost-cutting initiatives in the next 10 days or so.
Finally, The Financial Times puts the global banking crisis into perspective Friday. According to the newspaper, Merrill Lynch has posted some $14bn in after-tax losses in the last year. When adjusted for inflation, this is said to amount to around 25% of all the profits the firm has made in its 36 years as a public company. Merrill Lynch had the highest ratio of a group of 10 banks, which included Bank of America, Citi, Credit Suisse, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman, Lehman and Morgan Stanley. UBS came in second.

又搬屋了
今個星期請了幾天假（星期三至五），準備搬家了。終於快要搬回沙田，十分期待!
住在大角嘴這半年，想落街散散步，都頗令人失望，附近有很多人吸煙，四周感覺污煙瘴氣，對於一個大肚婆而言，實在沒有地方可以悠悠閒閒舒舒服服的散步。還是覺得沙田比較好，空氣清新，環境優美，交通方便。（以上純是個人意見）

New Plan A
最近無意中發現一個機會 (簡稱"新計劃A")，與兩個老死在幾天内開過幾次會議後，決定付諸實行。
可是，當我們立下決定並跟前owner確認我們的意願時，竟然殺出一個程咬金，給別人截足先登，新計劃就此終止了，唯有再等下一個機會吧!
