Numi's response about waking up in the morning.
Thread: Waking up in the morning
you need to come up with a ritual. by numi Certified User(Senior Baboon, 248 Banana Points Points) on 3/31/08 at 7:25pm
I used to be a night-owl when I was in college too, but once I hit the working world, I knew I had to come up with some other solution. I developed a morning ritual that I go through before the "big day," which we all know is every day that we work at the great institution known as the investment bank. I call this ritual "The Terminator." First, I crouch down in the shower in the classic "naked terminator traveling through time" pose. With my eyes closed I crouch there for a minute, visualizing either Arnold or the guy from the second movie (not the chick in the third one because that one sucked) and I start to hum the terminator theme. Then I slowly rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me to proceed to a state of awakening to as an emotionless, cyborg badass. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It ruins the fantasy.
Some people REALLY need to find some human interaction outside of this forum...
Stfu b2...fag
I concur with joefish.
That terminator post made me smirk.
Hahaha... ironically, JoeFish is definitely one of those people.
Does my nightly fun with yo momma not count as human interaction then?
Hall of Fame Nomination 2: jjc1122's hilarious bashing of New York. I myself am a huge fan of the big apple and prefer it to anything in the midwest, but I have to admit that his Chicago trolling is awesome. I believe jjc1122 was originally an actual person from Chicago who posted on autoadmit.com, but at this point the NY-bashing is so rampant - at autoadmit, on wallstreetoasis, and even in the comments section of leveragedsellout - that it's hard to say where it even started or how many people are involved.
Hall of Shame Nomination 1: my outting of aspiringmonkey (was that his screenname?), an insufferable tool from Rutgers. I found his resume and posted it to a photobucket website. Of course, it included his full name, home address, phone number, etc.
Hall of Shame Nomination 2: my catching Dan Bush in a web of lies, as he pretended to be a 2nd year analyst at a BB and got away with it for a good long time. In reality, he is in college.
As mark klein/zala rules, I have a long and prestigious history of punishing and ridiculing people, whether on WSO or in my glory days on vault.com, before the moderators started deleting all my posts.
