In the beginning he waz so outrageous it waz funny but now it iz really getting on my fuckin nerves. He haz figured out what most guys never figure out tho. U keep axing and axing and hang around long enuff and eventually tha girl is gonna say yes, maybe in a weak moment or somethin. Well not with me. He spent a few minutes talkin about his dick size last week, or at least that waz tha implication. He said he almost quit salestradin in 1991 and started drivin cross country to LA to join tha porn industry. Probably he turned around and came back once tha cocaine wore off.

trdrbear: Hey sweetheart

My heart stopped for like a minute.

trdrbear: jk!

What tha fuck.

trdrbear: U guys upgraded VERT can u sent report pls

Well now he iz just fuckin with me. That iz tha thing about IM you have to like read pplz mindz. But I can tell he thot he wuz a jackass for calling me sweetheart last night bc he iz fuckin around this morning. At least he recognizes. Then he starts ordering me around like he iz king shit customer or something. Actually he iz but he and I have a rapport so he usually will right write out please instead of pls. Now he iz just being short with me. I know it’s not bc he is busy bc Weber doesn’t trade that much pre-open. So he can take tha time to write tha “ea” and tha “e” in please instead of pls. U he writes all tha time tho.

Truthfully I am kind of feeling like a jackass myself bc I forgot to send him that VERT research report. I know he owns tha stock in size and I know he wants to see it but I just forgot. I think I was just a little off from last night you know.

U would b 2.

Bein on a trading floor iz not exactly what I expected. I mean, I knew there were no girlz but there are really no girlz, except for the secretaries. They are nice but we don’t have much in common. For instance I make 3 times as much and I am just very young. And I will probably make more. U ever think about that? U ever think about how much people make? I think about it all tha time. I mean I know I am smart but there r smart ppl out there who don’t make any money. R they lazy? No, some of them work very hard. And some people on Wall Street don’t work very hard. I have never been able to figure it out. Maybe it is just a matter of how bad u want it. For example, in order to get this job I had to spend money on clothes and hair and learn how a banker dresses and acts, and study books on interviewing and recruiting, and this waz part of my life for like 3 months. Some ppl spend more time on it than that. It iz a huge pain in the ass. I mean, who wants to do this shit? So maybe making money is a function of just putting up with stupid shit. Everyone thinks being a pro athlete is so great. No its not. You have to put up with stoopid reporters sticking a microphone in your face all the time and drunk assholes yelling at u from the bleachers. It would not be fun at all. So once again we r back to making money means putting up with a lot of bullshit. All the great jobs in tha world r about putting up with tons of bullshit. Who wants to be a CEO? More bullshit. That’s why they say being an actuary iz tha best job in tha world. Decent money, no bullshit.
