Well, it looks like you put in a lot of hard work throughout undergrad and we're just about ready to extend you a FT offer. What's this? I just received a copy of an email you sent to one of my colleagues at Wells Fargo regarding you no longer wanting to be considered for a spot there. Let me just open that up real quick...

HR: So what you do...is take the markups from the VP, and you bring 'em down to the analyst's desk.

ASSOCIATE POOLIE: YES, uh, yes that's right.

HR: Well then I just have to ask, why couldn't the analyst just take the markups directly from the VP?

POOLIE: Well, I'll - I'll tell you why. Because, uh, analysts, uh are not good, at dealing with VPs.

HR: So, you physically take the markups, from the VP?

POOLIE: WELL... No, mah - my secretary does that.

HR: So then you must...physically bring them to the Analyst.

POOLIE: WELL......No. YEAHH mean...sometimes.

HR: What would you say....you DO HERE?

POOLIE: WELL LOOK I ALREADY TOLD YOU. I DEAL WITH THE GODDAMN VP SO THE ANALYST DOESN'T HAVE TO! I HAVE PEOPLE SKILLS! I HAVE AN MBA, CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT??? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?
