What do you enjoy the most?

Just a fun thread:

What part of the job do you enjoy most (or are you looking forward to the most for the prospectives) ??? I don't mean things such as "the money." I mean: which part of the process (ie diligence visits, industry research, etc)??? A "why" would be nice as well.

Looking forward to the most... This may sound ridiculous, but the fact that it is such a rat race and there is always stuff to be done. If you couldn't guess, I get bored really easily and actually enjoy working like a mad man. I honestly think the best sleep you can get is the sleep after an all nighter as I'm a.) Dead tired and b.) Feel like I've accomplished something. I don't sleep much period (4-5) hours a night, so I'll be happy to have a way to entertain myself when I'm wide awake at 3AM, instead of having to tiptoe around the apartment trying not to wake my roommates.
