I must say in Glasto they were wonderful, but in a smaller venue I could admire their talent...
Absolutely great....

what's wrong with work people??

I'm not sure if people at work are trying to impress me or what???
obviously they think they can...
I understand they have a very difficult perception of me.. but hey..
well we were on for this rescheduled for the 7Th time desk meeting where the big boss was supposed to come from NY and failed to do so again and again ... ( well.. didn't come over this time either)
anyway.. like usual it was my fault that the meeting lasted for 2 hours ( oh well... not really! they say stupid things they get clever questions)

anyway.... we also found out at the meeting that they got a new hire ( which apparently all of us interviewed.. not!)... from oxford.. which will start on our desk mid next year after surfing for 6 months in Aussie and after going to a spending spree in NY..
oh well... I particularly like these Oxford white tall male guys from rich families... don't I? so wonder why they decide to stick these idiots next to me.. sorry ... it might be a racist point of view.. but I'm not going to waste my time to explain to this-have it all person- how the market works.. just because they have posh parents..
I spent 6 hours today to come up with the best trade idea of the year.. it worked.. and I didn't even get any acknowledgment for it.. ( finding an answer to anything where I work it's like posing the ultimate question the chicken or the egg??)
Also why did the new graduate had to ask me if I had a boyfriend at the moment?
Why did one of my bosses had to pester me and try to impress me that he can have as much coke as he wants and bla?? ( does he think that this will make him less stupid in front of my eyes???? and why does he have to tell me that he spends 30k a year in strip clubs because his 2nd wife is not really keen on sex)... I mean..... do i really need to know that?
Also why do I have to be diplomatic and invent an excuse for the husband of my new colleague as I really don't fancy going out for dinner with him??? after the invitation line was.. are you going to Milan with her Friday? so ... do you want to go out for dinner with me???
Obviously it's a big issue for them that I won't waste one of my weekends to go skiing with them.. sorry guys but I'm not into paying to spend time with you lot.. that seems to be an alien idea to them ...
oh well.. and telling me that you were in the army killing people is not going to assure me that you'd look after me... will it???? apparently it should...
oh well...

That was my Tuesday evening- team meeting night...
You have to love banking...

Idiots should be prohibited.
The more I detest them the more I'm surrounded by them.
