City people

On my way to work this morning I looked around me on the escalator, at all the people swarming out of the tube and into the building. Some of them look geeky, the women often look overdressed and overexercised – that unnecessary combination of cinched belts and short tight skirts with very high heels and rigidly skinny legs.

And I thought to myself that there are only really three types of people who work in the city: people with brains, people with balls, and people who trod the path of least resistance. Unfortunately, I mostly fall into the latter category.
