It's finally Friday, friend-o. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and I've made it through another week of procrastination (AKA talking too much).

I spend a lot of my day thinking about writing. Then I talk for hours with colleagues about anything and everything. But once my stress hits a breaking point, I might finally hunker down with noise-canceling headphones to write.

It's the middle of the week, 10 Things in Techies. I'm Diamond Naga Siu, and for the first decade or so that I worked, I was always paid in cash. I didn't put much of it into a bank, because I didn't really understand how it worked.

So I hid it in different places, keeping a mental tally of my cash stash.

I'd be pretty upset if I mistaked one of my decoy reserves for a pot of proverbial gold. But that's almost exactly what happened to JPMorgan Chase.
