...everyday feels like a Monday :-(

...U have a nagging, aching upper right molar but you just deal with it and chew everything from the other side because you know you won't get to a dentist until maybe late next year.

(This thread is just bumming me out.)

 

When you can't tell the difference between fired and laid off. (it doesn't matter: you're out of a job either way)

Seriously what is the difference between getting fired and getting laid off?

fired means you fucked up bad and were punished for it.

laid off=the firm doesn't need you anymore or your position was eliminated

Oh, and a few others:

  1. When your boss way up top makes 100x what you make
  2. When you can say that a 15-hour workday is "light" and keep a straight face
  3. When you have the right to shit on your boss (if you're an analyst).
  4. When you dream in any of the following: excel, pitchbooks, blackberry, DCF, IPO, LBO, M&A, WACC, etc etc
  5. When you get driven around in a car by a chauffeur, neither of which you can afford.
  6. When you sleep with your blackberry right next to your ear.
  7. When you live a 10minute walk from work, but you clearly can't afford your apartment.
  8. When it takes you 6 months to convince your mother that you're not a stockbroker selling crappy public offerings to unsuspecting investors, then it takes you another 6 months to realize that you ARE indeed a stockbroker selling crappy public offerings to unsuspecting investors, only you're selling them in person.
