You must either be an EY or Reuters employee, or insane.

Who in their right mind would walk through Times Square by choice (aside from tourists)?

Neither, but all you can think about is where I work in light of what happened?

Was going to City Kitchen to get a lobster roll since it's seasonally warm out.

Cheer up, Bateman. What's the matter? No shiatsu this morning?
 
Controversial

+1 SB for lobster rolls.

//I'm going to chalk this up to you being shaken after witnessing senseless violence. But please bud, spare me your need to assert your moral superiority. Of course what happened is tragic, and I couldn't give less of a fuck about where you work.

What kind of responses were you expecting? "Yeah monkeys, what Craig McDermott said".

EDIT: Fine Craig, you got me. I notice that you work in Times Square as a Vice President - could it possibly be at E&Y's M&A advisory practice? I'm graduating in seven days, and while I just recently found this forum, I already know that investment banking is my life's calling.

Just the thought of impacting everyday peoples' lives by merging their favorite consumer goods brands fills me to the brim with sanctimonious joy. What greater good is there in life than achieving a $0.000001 discount for consumers by leveraging synergies to produce a more profitable survivor?

I know that you just witnessed human beings get horribly mangled in an accident, whose sheer meaninglessness belies the terrifying arbitrariness of our day to day striving....but do you think you have time for an informational coffee chat? I really think I could provide a lot of insight to your deal team. And I know that you would enjoy sitting next to me for 14 hours on a plane, up until the very moment we descend from the clouds onto the tarmac, like angels on our way to do https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2009/11/09/goldman-chief-says-he-is-just-d…</a">God's Work.

EDIT 2:

What's the deal with all the shit, guys. Genuinely cannot tell whether you guys are failing to grasp the joke, or you feel I am being insensitive.

FWIW, Craig McDermott and I were having a good time. It was all silver nanners in this thread until you guys started getting offended on his behalf.

The north side of times square is 47th. MS is located between 47th and 48th, which puts it NOT in Times Square, you fucking philistine.

I cannot believe you shat on me for this, knave. Are you Rain Man or something? Should I get you a phone book to memorize?

Natus repellat mollitia minus error ab iste. Voluptas porro earum qui sit omnis.

Similique sit amet non reprehenderit assumenda assumenda officia. Saepe et voluptatibus nobis qui nihil. Delectus fuga nihil sapiente accusamus. Labore voluptas quasi id quaerat nemo.
