Citi first-years got numbers this morning and they're "so bad" that everyone's been granted a ten minute nap under their desk plus five minutes of alone time in the "jerk off and cry" room. 1st tier got 65, 2nd got 53, 3rd got 25. Our tipster was unsure about the remaing two levels though we've got our guesses. Fourth tier's prize is one of those gigantic coupon books. Fifth tier's prize is you're...

Coffee, God’s Gift to Mankind

Coffee… the wonder tonic! Is there anything this magical potion can’t do? As a bonus I will gratuitously use a Glengarry Glen Ross clip, coffee is for closers. Recent disease-related findings can only add to coffee’s popularity. A review of 13 studies found that people who drank caffeinated coffee, but not decaf, had a [...]

What, no S&H Green Stamps with it? No set of steak knives ? Stumblin' Bumblin' John McCain put on his Dr. Emmett Brown lab coat yesterday and firmly aligned his possible presidency with Monty Hall, and "Let's Make A Deal", offering a $300-million prize for someone to develop a battery for electric and/or hybrid cars. Man, you knew that McCain has always been low rent, but a carny ? Is he planning on...

Glengarry Glen Ross is an excellent movie, and a surprisingly exceptional performance by Alec Baldwin, who is the newbie in the movie. So too, and I can't believe I am going to say this, is Ben Affleck, in the post-jump clips, and yes, a awesome dose of Robbins. Always Be Closing. Another video or two after the jump. (Continued after the Jump) Here, Ben Affleck kicks out Schleprock, Skippy, and admonishes,...

We’ve all done that cloying trust-fall activity where you pretend like you trust your fellow co-workers enough to let them catch you as you fall backwards. I’ve always thought that maybe if there was less time spent doing trite exercises and more time investigating why co-workers don't trust eachother it would make the workplace work [...]

Thought I was going to get fired today

Going into work today I was pretty sure I was going to get fired. I figured I'd be in the store for about half an hour, and then head out after having cleaned out my desk. By desk I mean the drawer in the back that I keep two pairs of shoes and a tie in. By cleaned out I mean I'd have put my two pairs of shoes in a bag and stuffed my tie into one of my jacket pockets. It was both scary, since I have...
