Biweekly Anonymus Mailbag

Monkeys,

As I have taken on a somewhat larger role with WSO, I am heading up a new project.

For those of you who have not seen my posts before, I was formerly a blogging intern with WSO and now am an intern manager. I am in my junior to senior year summer, and interning in consulting. If you would like to know further about my background you can read about it here

This project is an an anonymous mailbag, where you can write me questions and I will do my best to provide answers. These questions can range from anything like personal life (relationships, moving, colleges, etc.) to professional life. When applicable I will answer, or I will try and solicit help from Andy and the WSO team or other WSO members who have more insight to the topic at question.

This will be done 100 percent anonymously and we will try and answer some good questions. While informative, these can be quite entertaining to read.

To submit a post, please email me at [email protected] and I will read through all of them and attempt to answer questions on the most entertaining, and most applicable ones! I will post the best questions on a thread, with an answer below. I will not post your username or anything, but please note that others may read your question. Unless someone knows your exact story and everything about you, there is a slim chance anyone will know who it was.

Good examples can be found at Clay Travis's Mailbag. I read his all the time, its hilarious, and is what inspired me to create this project for our community.

Disclaimer Some posts will not make it on, and excessive swearing is not encouraged. Please keep stories realistic, this is not a “Straight to Hell” tribute

Thanks,

-Wu Tang

 

In light of the common threads found on WSO:

My MD's fucking my girlfriend. What should I do? Blue ties or orange ties with ducks printed on them? Can I join the Wu Tang clan? How many wives and girlfriends should a banker maintain?

GoldenCinderblock: "I keep spending all my money on exotic fish so my armor sucks. Is it possible to romance multiple females? I got with the blue chick so far but I am also interested in the electronic chick and the face mask chick."
 

Enim ea consequatur quae est impedit. Maxime vel ut debitis ut explicabo. Atque nostrum voluptas cupiditate veritatis quia quaerat placeat. Aut cupiditate qui provident non vero. Perferendis impedit libero sunt aut vero. Consectetur quam aut aut.

Et enim dolorem illo. Fugit illo labore ratione non.
