Navigating Older Women

Thankful for WSO
To the homosapiens of WSO, I'd like to say a few things. While many people may sh*t on WSO times for having some toxic ranking systems, innately arrogant comments, and a pretentious user base, I think we sometimes lose sight of the value that this forum gives to people. For me, it did so much. Now,...
How Do You Deal With Working On Holidays?
It's Thanksgiving in the U.S. and I have been on calls and turning comments since 9am this morning. This is my first time experiencing the big holidays while working in IB and, wow, this absolutely sucks. Growing up, Thanksgiving/Christmas/Easter/etc were always pretty big days for me. Always filled...

So, Who Went Shopping On Thanksgiving?
There was quite a bit of furor against a number of retailers last week, especially online. One particularly searing campaign mimicked a Black Friday Sale poster to read: “50% Off: Materialism! Consumerism! Plus, get an additional 10% on our Special Offer: The Things You Own, Owning You!” Target,...
The World's Greatest Lifehack
It will give you tunnel vision. It will make you sacrifice many things you enjoy and put them on the back-burner. It will give you a cynical (and sometimes hateful) view of your classmates. You will seriously consider the possibility of purchasing a one-way flight to Fiji to retire. (Okay, maybe...
Thanksgiving Destruction
Disclaimer: This is not a story about what I am thankful for, rather a story explaining why I am sitting at an airport chilies, drinking, waiting for an earlier flight. My family is rowdier than most, everyone drinks, gets drunk and per usual gets into fights. Usually its a sister on sister...
Do expats take Thanksgiving holiday in Singapore?
Hello Singaporean monkeys, Quick question! Do finance expats in Singapore go home/take vacation on Thanksgiving? Was planning a trip and network with people there but I'm not sure if they're staying and only go home on Xmas/New Year or are they taking vacation on Thanksgiving as well. Kinda don't...
Turkey Day Throw Down
Happy Thanksgiving boys and girls. As we all know and should remember, there's a lot more to be grateful for, than there is to be whining about. Still, some of us moan and bitch 'till the morning light. That's just how it is. You never know what you've got 'till it's gone. With that thought in mind,...

Unique Turkey Day Cocktails
I stumbled across the following video (no pun intended) and I thought I'd share it with you guys today so you could whip these up tomorrow with your deep-fried turkeys and oyster dressing. Thanksgiving is a BIG holiday in New Orleans, and we don't do anything down there without a cocktail. Normally...
Hangover or Pig-Out, which is worse?
Today I woke to the after effects of Thanksgiving gone wild. Luckily this year granny kept her top on and Uncle Pete pre rolled his joints. This way none of my nieces and nephews went home crying or singing "Pass the Dutchie" ... I myself, was so overjoyed that the police didn't come knocking, I...

Food for Thought
He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things he has not, but rejoices for those which he has. ~Epictetus Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others. ~Cicero No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks. ~Unknown Seeing as this week we will be...
