Other than the usual one when I confess to myself every night that I definitely pulled some numbers out of my ass that day?
haha yes
Ever got caught?
To clarify, this was at my previous job. A few times, but my bosses probably cared less than I did at the end of the day so nothing serious happened.
Forgive me Father for I have sinned - I use the office prayer room for power naps.
Ha. Best answer.
Lol, I think a lot more people will confess to this.
I keep my chair turned around, a charger connected and an extra suit jacket on my chair while I'm walking around aimlessly because I'm so bored. But that seems to be the norm around here.
I troll the IT guys when I get bored... My last ticket was regarding which software I can run to fix a screen I'd angrily inserted a keyboard into.
I sometimes play chicken (think Fast & Furious 1) in the narrower halls with clients with the straightest of faces.
I'm the guy who's leaving origami on the urinals.
I sometimes wear poly blend shirts.
Jesus will forgive you, not so sure about the MD though
Poly blend shirts? What are you, some type of animal? Holy hell.
Had to use my personal device to post this. I use the office mail room to send personal mail. Stamps are expensive these days!!
I've blatantly lied to FoF managers about our process to get their capital
Wait - who hasn't?
?? Please explicate lol
I fall asleep while sitting up at my desk for a good half hour every morning.
Not limited to morning here...
FML
I'm usually asleep from 830-9, then half awake until about 10. Then drink a mt. dew which gets me through the rest of the day. I only work until 4pm so it's not too bad for me.
When I'm in class from 6-8, or 6-10, then I'm dozing off quite often there too!
Yet another WSO post that some journalist will use to expose "the mischievous Wall Street culture"...
I joined the gym down the block from me because it has a lounge I can sleep in.
As a side note, I'd also just like to add that I have nothing to confess.
i continually cancel my team's lunch, even when they hustle
this is gold
My internship and that of my pals may or may not have consisted of YouTube and Reddit binges... for weeks at a time.
For the juniors, yes. For the sophomores, no offer cometh, Reddit or not.
Whores. Cocaine. Lying. Cheating. Stealing. Gerrymandering. Colluding.
All the fun stuff does not end in an -ing.
Brought an extra pair of different colored pants when napping in the stall so i could change out after 20 minutes and get another 20 in without anyone knowing it was the same person.
Rough life. Can't just go to a different floor?
Sent a dick pic to a cute intern. Definitely turned out to be a no-no.
Whoa how retarded. I'm 100000% down for dick pics.
Post your number. I'm sure you'll get plenty.
Do all the major IBanks have prayer rooms??
Check your intranet. If you've got one, it's likely located on the same floor as HR.
I feel Wall Street is about to get more religious.
Sometimes the only thing keeping me from losing my shit is the baseline i maintain that is just short of caffeine overdose. Shitty day? Going to inhale the whole bullpen's recommended daily intake of caffeine. I'm likely pickling my insides, but i do love what i do.
I use the espresso machine at least 5-7 times a day.
Dude why'd you edit your comment
I read WSO for hours at a time
Nothing too bad.
I just started a new project. I am in consulting and now I spend like 70 % of my day working. My old project I spent like 20 % workign and the other browsing the interweb. I miss it.
Are you in F.O IB?
Make sure you have "show avatars" turned off noimsayin.
I used the copiers/binding machines/covers at my internship to print and bind interview guides and other 50+ page stuff for myself. Not that big of a deal but back then I was terrified of getting caught.
Oh and on Friday afternoons when I'd have phone calls to make I'd go to the my VP's office (who was gone) and use his nice headset and kick back in his chair.
lol'ed at the second part
I thought everyone does this?
I printed all the BIWS/WSO guides on glossy paper. No regrets.
used an MD's room (with permission with the EA) to do an interview with another firm. I feel dirty.
you're not alone...but your avatar is garbage
I recently started responding to meeting invites in Outlook with "Propose new time" one minute later.
Oh man. This is the best. I can imagine the look on someones face when they receive that.
I like my own troll posts on CNN's FB page. I'd give myself SBs if I could.
