In my experience (though I bow to your obviously greater knowledge of what it's like to be a banker), bankers never travel to other banks for deals. Ever.

If he was the cleaning guy, I'm taking a little breather and phoning it in.

They do go to other banks when they are looking for work. So this could have been an out of work banker. Perhaps some imcompetant schmoe who has just been fired from the Wall Street bank and so has to go, hat in hand, to the bank in your part of town. So imcompetant, he can't figure out where he is or where he is going.

PPNYC, Did he admire any part of your anatomy?

Hmmm. I'm unconvinced. The rep tie is the tie of choice of bus drivers, high school boys, and funeral directors. I'd say that's evidence of his non-professional status.

I hope you didn't give him any helpful information.

I'd go with copier salesman/repair guy. Don't they all wear ties in TCOTU, too?

No I was covered in conspicuous plaid.

BTW, that was funny. Some poor Goldman shmoe looking for work at a 2nd tier.

There are amateur funeral directors? Hobbyists, if you will?

Do you really hate rep ties? I kind of like them. They mix it up sort of like the fields of flowers or swiss dot type tie. I understand it looks like a prep school tie but that's kind of hot in and of itself.

good point. And bus driver requires a special license, not unlike the practice of law.

But unlike the practice of law, you can lose your bus driver's license for drinking on the job.

Do you have a break in case of emergency flask in your desk?

Update! so now I run the other way, which I didn;t like because it is mainly along a mid-busy street with no sidewalk and places with no shoulder even. But earlier this week I went into the sidestreet along this road. I found a small lake that is now about 1/2 mile of my run and has a park and toilet!!!!

You're in luck. Parks like that are often congregating spots for young men looking to hook up with desperate middle-aged father figures. And not pesky teachers to look out for!

There, now. I bet the mere thought makes you feel so much better.

when I first posted it there was no comma, and I was going to then make a post quoting the slave thing about thurgreed and ask if when thurgreed first started posting he had a mentor to help him get to the A-list,

or something about whether Taxwonk and the other b-list guys bitched about thurgreed making A-list back then and called it affirmativie action, or something....

But it seemed like too much work, so I added the comma like I was threatening Flinty, who I really like so I wouldn't really fight with. sigh. now my fingers are tired.

This is really so sad. You've become the Gilbert Gottfried of the FB. Soon, even Penske won't take your calls.

Trader. I don't know - does that count?

The ways of the business world confound me.
