Nightmare on FP Drive, Knoxville, TN (Not a Tech-hub to be clear)

For those of you who might not be familiar with my identity. I am a proud graduate of the Tickle College of Engineering at Tennessee- go Vols! Your probably wondering how I wound up on this forum. Well for the last 25 years I have worked in high finance. My experience ranges from principal at a small cap industrials co all the way up to corp dev/leveraged finance/O&G analyst for the university of South Carolina's Men's soccer team- go cocks! Currently I am a PM at a hedge fund here in Chattanooga (semi-strong up and coming. Tech-hub) and I am the sole manager of our Large cap tech portfolio. Mostly long positions because I just can't stop buying Apple, meta, Tesla, etc. (total value is - 89.87% YTD) hahahha let's just say the wife and kids shouldn't expect the holliest or jolliest holidays season, but I'm Jewish and only celebrate Christmas during bull markets, so better luck next year kids Hahhahahaha. Anyway I'm writing this because I think I feel the need to fume over what happened to my second cousin/nephew last weekend.

Back in the day I was rush captain and president of Sigma Nu at TU (address is 1824 fraternity park (FP) Drive, hence the title), so naturally my second cousin/nephew was destined to be Sig Nu Vol and naturally become part of the Exec Committee, or so I thought. Also, I always wanted to be a personal injury lawyer just like my dad while I was growing up, but more on that later. Anyways, the chapter held interviews for their EC last week and I made sure my second cousin/nephew ran for just about everything from VP of alumni relations - finance - philanthropy- ZL committee (zip line committee) - VP - President - Rush captain, because I naturally want my son to be as successful as me which all starts with being on your chapter's EC. I.e., me (RC '93, president '94) and my father (VP '52, president '52, and VP of foreign nocturnal delinquency (think Ted Merrfield/Baird Bright type of character) of Delt at TU.This past Sunday the decisions came out and my son didn't get a single fucking position. Not even that but they didn't give him a fucking house spot and my blood is boiling. How could they disrespect the second cousin/nephew of a chapter legend?

I don't fucking know but my dad and I plan on taking legal action within the week. To make things even worse, they gave treasurer to some short kid who's a fucking accounting major. Additionally, he supposedly had to drop finance the first time because he was failing so fucking bad. Ridiculous! What is going on?! The more I think about it the more I want to drop a class action case on these clowns. Furthermore, the kid who got the SLC position is apparently a closet gay who bases his entire personality off the liver king. The fucking liver king! Wtfffff! What is going on!! Back in the day that shit did not fly, not one fucking bit! Like I said, I'm writing this to fume, but I feel like I owe y'all the favor of providing a little more color on my early career aspirations.

Like I said I always wanted to be a personal injury attorney as a kid, so that I could be just like my dad (pc '48). He is still alive and well living out his days in Thailand (not sure on tech-hub, need to read more into it). Apparently there is no taxes on capital gains yielded from class action law suits, so he makes boat loads by suing the shit out of small mom and pop shops out of Thailand lol. But yeah this shit is so badass and you make great money and fuck around and drink hard liquor a lot. But yeah as a kid I wanted to do this but as I started to research tech I knew I had to do something more tech oriented as it tickled my fancy. And I feel as their isn't any real crossover to tech and PI law. Although, I saw an article about some new law firms along the Appalachian trail that are still in early development of personal injury tech law (bad fucking ass, will definitely be dropping my resume). So, yeah I ended up working for tech HF in Chattanooga and I'm gonna try and sue my old fraternity for fucking over my second cousin/nephew.
