Reply Thread to Mis Ind's "Putting it all to Rest"


Mis Ind:
Okay, monkeys. So that I need not spend more time fielding folks' doubts, here you go. Seanc, this is particularly for you.

http://i166.photobucket.com/albums/u111/MisInd/Ai…

So in this photograph, which I just took, you have the following:

Statue of Liberty in background -- proves my apartment is in Lower Manhattan.

Diamond Nationals Black Belt 1st place trophy from 1998.

Work blackberry plus personal blackberry.

Diamond engagement ring in Blue Nile box. Yes, the diamond is small. I'm still very proud of it and happy with it.

SafeWord access card for remote access to work

A piece of lined paper that says Mis Ind so that you can tell I didn't just dig the image up online.

The strange looking red puffballs with white dust on them are called uchiko. They are made of silk and rice paper called yoshino-gami, then filled with whetstone powder. They are only used for one thing: for cleaning katana. I would have no reason to have uchiko unless I was trained in the use of katana.

Hopefully you'll agree that I didn't run out and buy a trophy from 1998, break my way into someone else's Lower Manhattan apartment, buy an engagement ring, steal a remote access card, and find uchiko (which is not easy, believe me) just to prove a point.

I am not lying. I'm just unusual

This would be the best thread of all time, IF WE COULD QUOTE AND REPLY!

I just want to know why this thread was setup that way. Maybe Mis Ind really owns this site. Why else would she have the power to do that!

I love the pic by the way.

Fire away!

 

Iaido. I studied Iaido. It is one of the two primary styles of martial arts that makes use of katana.

I had many teachers over the years, so there would be both ignominious and boastful ways of tracing my lineage. If I'm going to be boastful, I'll say that I have lineage from Sakae Imai Sensei, Shinobu Maeda Sensei, Yamaguchi Sensei, and Sugino Sensei of Katori Shinto through Dale Kirby. I have lineage from Hombu Dojo through Lotfi Kasraie. As for my other teachers, either they're no-names or disgraced. I should explain that I'm not currently a deshi of Hombu Dojo or any of the aforementioned teachers. I retired from teaching and competing nearly seven years ago.

 

hey Mis Ind, i don't follow this board often but if you were concerned about your anonymity, i thought i'd mention that people (e.g., me) can tell where you work based on your remote access card. but you probably thought about that already.

Read through the rest of the topic. If they can get past the doorman then they're welcome to show up at my door with flowers, cupcakes, and a respectful attitude. Any lip? Choke 'em out, take 'em across the street to Officer Dan. If they're stupid enough to bring a weapon then I may end up having some real fun. If my fiance's home but not me, then he can handle them in his own way, which will probably be somewhat bloodier and less legal but not my concern. My fiance handled my exes quite well, even when one showed up with a titchy little knife. I have faith he could handle some pussy college kid who probably just wants someone to whine at.

However, I don't think these guys are brave enough for physical confrontations. They're not going to bother me, man. Thanks for the concern, though.

 

Numi, if you read between the lines it isn't impossible to figure out where I work, even though multiple banks and other firms use that brand of remote access card. I'm not really terrified of people finding out who I am and where I work. Feel free to guess all you like; I'm just not saying yea or nay.

 

nah, i was just pointing it out. i don't really need/care to read between the lines. i don't spend several hours a day on this forum like some others. also, why would you be so presumptuous as to think i'd even want to engage in such puerile guessing games?

also, i'm humored by your previous posting. way to reciprocate the online jousting with fellow IBO monkeys. you must feel that your "king kong" status on this board gives you some elevated sense of bravado (and a true shame that such a sentiment would be so gravely misplaced)

No, I didn't notice any King Kong status and the number of my posts wouldn't really mean anything to me anyway. Sorry if I've given you the wrong idea, but given the proliferation of fake bankers on this board and the fact that my own story is quite unusual, I felt it needed a foundation so that folks didn't overlook what small value I can bring to the forum with my actual experience as an analyst.

Please do try not to read thoughts and emotions into what I say here. I say what I mean to say as directly as possible, and any subtext you might read into it will usually be wrong. I think bravado would be a pretty poor substitute for the naked truth as I see it, which is what I'm contributing.

If any other bankers want to take pictures of their blackberries and offices, it might help shake out the fakes. Or it might be a bad idea... who knows?

One critical thing, though, would be that you'd need to put your user name on a piece of paper in the image. Otherwise it could be anyone's.

 

ok. i actually feel like it's pretty easy to sniff out the fakers, once you're on the inside looking out -- but i agree that it is unfortunate that there is so much dispensation of terrible advice on these boards, because people who don't work in finance and are on the outside looking in will invariably have much more difficulty separating the real people from the pretenders, and following the wrong advice can actually be a detriment to them.

It's just stupid of her really to waste the time putting pics up, I think I have a pretty good idea what building that is, just not sure which wing. Not that I give a damn in the first place.

 

Personally don't understand how anyone can have difficultiy believing Mis Ind has done what she says she has done.

As far as sporting achievments go - back when I was working we had soem form of olympic martial arts person and someone who played rugby at international level before it turned pro.

Course this is in markets so we do have a little bit more time then IBD guys ;-)

 

Yes, I was wearing a bra. Because there are no windows above or near me, I tend to be pretty laid-back about what I wear in the apartment. I guess those guys across West Side could see in with binoculars and the right light conditions, but I really don't care.

 

It's a slightly different model, GameTheory. One's dark blue; one's pale blue. And $100 is a lot of money, man. You analysts who've already been working and getting bonuses must have forgotten what it's like to be a first-year.

I think a lot of us live down there. It's reasonably cheap and peaceful.

 

That's not the way it happened, though. I got a Blackberry when I was working at that crappy little mutual fund company while I was in school. I kept it as my personal phone when I left. Then my current job gave me one.
