Huh. This is me every single day of my professional career, even. Tomorrow evening I'm supposed to explain the US economic-financial crisis to a dozen French biz school students and I'm actually welcoming the fact that today none of my three, count 'em, computers is 100% functional because it gives me an excuse not to write the lecture till tomorrow. Do I understand the US economic-financial crisis myself? I do not. Make that 'an excuse to research and write the lecture'. Think I'll go read some fanfic. Is there such as thing as financial fanfic? (Finfanfic?)
