Accidentally Punched MD in the Face

It's my birthday today, and learned that my GF paid for a 1 week vacation for the both of us to go to Cleveland. My natural excitement made me spin out of my chair, get up, and swing my fist into the air. I did all of this so fast that I didn't realize my Managing Director was right behind me ready to ask a question about the DCF model I just completed (which admittedly was fucked up).

It really looked as if I WANTED to punch him in the face. Blood was everywhere, and it was right before lunch. I immediately apologized, explained what happened, and offered to get him band-aids, paper towels, water, advil etc..

Look guys, I feel as if I really messed up this time. I need some solid advice. The MD was crying in his office as I passed by to go to lunch.

Your bank probably has security cameras. Go find the security desk and watch that shit on replay.

Maybe the vacation a well-intentioned but mistimed trip to the NBA Finals? Anyways, just wanted to say y'all are making me use up all my silver bananas. Keep it up.

Actually here's what you do: write a profuse apology email and explain the whole thing. You might get arrested for assault, but that'll just help you fit in in Cleveland.

I've never heard anyone say that they are going on vacation in Cleveland.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
 

HAHAH BRO THAT ONLY MEANS ONE THING: HE HAD IT COMING.... HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAH BE A MAN AND SHRUG IT OFF SLAP HIM ON THE BACK AND SAY ITS OK, IF HE ACTS OUT CALL HIM OUT AS A BITCH... EITHER WAY YOU ARE HEDGED

 

i smell a steaming pile of horse shit ... why would anyone in their right mind WANT to go to Cleveland? that's like saying I could try and get some seriously hot strange tonight, but instead I am going to stay home and "Netflix & Chill" with Betty White.

I'm an ECM intern and where we work we have a soccer ball tied to a rope, which you can kick around without it flying everywhere breaking windows and stuff. Every banker kicks it around once in a while, even the MD's love to kick the ball at everyone.

So, on my first day, I just tried to fit in the team by kicking the ball as well, and I accidentally kicked it right in the nuts of a director...

Don't worry about it, shit like this happens all the time everywhere... xD
