During my job interview, I was very chatty and excited. But I am actually not a very jolly person. I am the one who barely speaks and works in silence.

Would you call that manipulative?
Not sure why, but I become hyper during one-on-one.

I was just wondering how my CD must be thinking of me now that I've been here for a while.

You misrepresented yourself and sold them a lemon. Kidding. It’s an interview, and it’s advertising, you’re selling the best version of yourself. No one’s expecting “interview mode” 5 days a week. Do a good job, be a good person, and they’ll be happy.

You pretended to be outgoing. Your boss pretended the work would be award-winning and the hours reasonable. I think it’s a wash.

I go through the same thing. I'm more comfortable in small group settings (less than 5). And I've learned that it's a them problem for not understanding and adapting, not mine (or ours).

If they don't have the capacity to understand that a person can be one way in one situation and another when working, then that's not a situation you want to be in, trust me. It's more stressful in the long run and other people start to take things unnecessarily personal.

Yeah I guess its kind of cute that you were genuinely excited? I dont know—congrats on getting the job, be happy about it, dont beat yourself up. Sounds like once you warm up to the place you could be more effervescent. Or maybe not...anyway they like you! Stop worrying 😃

Being able to turn it on when necessary is a skill you need for the job. Keep bringing that person to the big meetings, but otherwise don't worry about it.

Thursday I got it in my head that I needed to hedge against potential Dollar devaluation. I looked at other market funds thinking them to be good proxies for other currencies.

I decided to pick up a few but saw the Baltic Index was going up, higher shipping rates means increased demand, so it pointed to the Chinese economy picking up significantly.

I looked at FXI, there was no option interest so they were super cheap. I figured I pick up a bunch.
