IB Day In the Life - Am I Wrong?

Banker day to day:
1) roll in with coffee around 9:15
2) wander the floor til 10:30 avoiding all responsibilities. Spend some time admiring their superiority over the S&T team. 
3) coffee break. Existential dread. Self soothing. 
4) arrange PowerPoint logos 11-2:30. Convince yourself this is the dream. 
5) lunch time - time to cry. 12 more hours!
6) index match (NOT VLOOKUP!!!! Cmon G!!!) 3-5:15
7) try to look busy online shopping and convincing traders on WSO your job is better than theirs 5:30-9:15
8) turn comments, aka more logo rearrangements 9:30-12:30
9) cry break #2 
10) 2:30 lonely Uber ride home, tears in eye, angry texts from the gf 
11) rinse & repeat. Try not to panic re: balding hairline, angry gf, the fading lights of your 20’s wizzing by
