Bankers On Top

The following story has been pre-approved by Pteradactyl:

DUDE. I talked to these dudes in the investment bank today. I spouted so much bullshit, I feel like I need to go take a shower.

They're starting a new team for intrabank efficiency, so I think they want me to handle one arm of the operation. Anyway, I said fine, I'll talk to them. DUDE. These guys are ballin like Kobe. Top floor of the building, decked out - mahogany, leather, telepresence screens wider than I am tall, computers that look like they're meant for extreme gaming.

So I'm like, "Why the huge ticker? You have traders here too?" And the dude said something about how it gives them a more credible appearance before the clients, like, and I quote, "We're ON TOP of this."

I think the offer sounds more impressive than it really is though - they usually do when someone's trying to lure you into their honeypot. Like when you've had 17 cans of PBR and that really attractive girl who wasn't attractive before is telling you about the yoga she does.
