Happy New Year - Wishing you all the best

First things first, I wish all my Jewish friends a Happy New Year. I wish good things for you, and all the best in the new year.

Next order of business: I'm the only non-Jew in my group and I'm the only one here:

HOLY HELL I'M SWAMPED WITH WORK! I'M GETTING KILLED OVER HERE! IF ANYONE WANTS TO GET A DRINK TOMORROW, PM ME

Normally I am a fan of the Tribe, but you guys are killing me today. Literally the entire senior management team at a company we're acquiring and all the MDs at their sell-side bank are Jewish and have evaporated off the face of the earth. We're trying to close next week and still need a shitload of information from them.

When I was in banking I had to work on Thanksgiving and Christmas when buyers were being difficult. I guess it's true - the Jews run the world.

Yeah... that's what I was thinking. Kinda sorta unfair

Haha if I was in NYC, I'd have a couple with you.

It's full strength here with the Baastan brahmins. But at least half the city is still hungover from the epic Sox choke last night. Hell, it took me half as long to drive to work today.

Wrong Quote... you mean to say "Shana Tova". And thanks.
