Please stop eating at your desk

No one wants to hear you chew or smell your food. You don’t look like a hard worker, you look like a tool. Take 30 mins, eat outside or wherever designated food consumption area your employer provides. I PROMISE you the global financial system will not collapse if you step away from your desk to eat your shitty lunch. Thank you for attending my TED talk

Let's just get one thing clear here. I don't care what you eat at your desk, as long as you don't cook and eat fish from the microwave. Thank you for this announcement. 

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee

I'd like to add Indian food to this list. Trader Joe's Palak Paneer and Butter Chicken are awesome cheap lunches, but please take it down to the cafeteria.  They smell the place up massively.  (similar for any other smelly food.  I love Limburger cheese, but would never take it to work)

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

I will agree with Isaiah_53_5 💎🙌💎🙌💎 about the fish situation. Otherwise, get your own office so I don't have to listen to you whine while I eat my lunch in peace in my own office with the door closed and earbuds in so I can hopefully drown you out and watch a real TED talk during lunch.

My pet peeve is people who chew with their mouth open so I am with you just in general. I chew like a baby mouse bc I know how annoying it can get. Unless I am hungry and need to inhale my food because I havent ate in a couple hours. Im just gonna meal prep and eat it in lobby or by the elevator so it can be gone in a minute.
