...everyday feels like a Monday :-(

...U have a nagging, aching upper right molar but you just deal with it and chew everything from the other side because you know you won't get to a dentist until maybe late next year.

(This thread is just bumming me out.)

 

...it's working, it's working

sigh, almost worked until I consider how much I'm just donating in taxes towards people I've never met before and probably don't even like :-(

 

...you have a psychosomatic stomachache at all times when you're not in the building because someone might walk by your desk and see that you're not there.

Even at 4 AM.

 

....the days becomes continous and so does your thinking process. mondays assignment is still the theme of your dream by friday night...

 

When you can't tell the difference between fired and laid off. (it doesn't matter: you're out of a job either way)

Seriously what is the difference between getting fired and getting laid off?

fired means you fucked up bad and were punished for it.

laid off=the firm doesn't need you anymore or your position was eliminated

Holy dog shit.

Fired = having lost your job (for whatever reason, doesn't mean you "fucked up bad")

Laid off = Dismiss, usually for economic reasons (can't afford to keep you here)

Oh, and a few others:

  1. When your boss way up top makes 100x what you make
  2. When you can say that a 15-hour workday is "light" and keep a straight face
  3. When you have the right to shit on your boss (if you're an analyst).
  4. When you dream in any of the following: excel, pitchbooks, blackberry, DCF, IPO, LBO, M&A, WACC, etc etc
  5. When you get driven around in a car by a chauffeur, neither of which you can afford.
  6. When you sleep with your blackberry right next to your ear.
  7. When you live a 10minute walk from work, but you clearly can't afford your apartment.
  8. When it takes you 6 months to convince your mother that you're not a stockbroker selling crappy public offerings to unsuspecting investors, then it takes you another 6 months to realize that you ARE indeed a stockbroker selling crappy public offerings to unsuspecting investors, only you're selling them in person.
