As we’ve discussed before, Nomura’s acquisition of Lehman’s internal operations has not gone as smoothly as everyone had hoped. The Lehman employees are being very difficult, all but refusing to submit to their new employer’s way of doing things. Particularly the women. Despite being told that short sleeves are not acceptable, as they are the clothes of whores, these Lehman ladies apparently spent the summer just absolutely slutting it up. I’m talking sleeveless tops. I’m talking silk shirts. I’m talking bright nail polish. Well no more! The summer’s over, and you’ve had your kicks. It’s time to lock it up and know what else? This goes for any of the men straddling the line between “upstanding businessman” and gigolo. And don’t give me this shit that you couldn’t understand the memo. One short sleeve, one red nail– and I mean one– and you’re gone.
A recent e-mail politely reminded staff in Nomura’s Tokyo headquarters that “gay colour nail polish and manucure” fell outside the company’s strict dress code. The trading floor was also left baffled by guidelines on the correct type of trousers: “Wear the one gives to the ankle to the height of pants”. The awkwardly-worded memo, which one former Lehman Brothers recipient described as “sounding like a Japanese VCR instruction manual from the ’80s” was an attempt to rein-in bankers’ attire after the long, relatively permissive days of summer.
With autumn now arrived those carefree, tie-less months are gone and the winter dress code is in force. “Bare foots”, said the memo, are no longer appropriate. Unsuitable clothes are listed by category. Under the “jacket and suit” heading, for example, bankers are reminded to avoid “the one of lustrous material”. Skirts may neither be extremely short nor be a “skirt that deep slit entered”.

Slore!
I opened multiple programs to run in the background on Greg’s PC, significantly slowing down his computing experience, limiting his ability to post on dealbreaker, and frustrating him to no end. I can tell by watching him with my binoculars.

A bamboo is burned and bamboo charcoal is being made charcoal.
When this charcoal is put in water a minus ion accurse, and becomes the water which is good for the body.
Besides, I can have it use a deodorant.

Entering deep slits FTW!

Almost noon and no Greg. Don’t be teasing me Bess. Did you snuff that no talent weasel? And douche.
Fondly,
Greg’s Mom
So basically everyone there has to dress like Ralphie’s little brother in the Christmas Story. That sucks.
She looks so beagle in that pic.
I swear I’ve seen Erin Callan at Stone Rose.
Now THERE is a woman that would give a guy a mancision
I look so regal in that picture.
She looks semi retarded in that picture.
Erin Burnett
So, is this symptomatic of larger problems with the integration, or are we just having a Brit of fun at Tojo’s and Tokyo Rose’s expense?
Hello, I see that you would like to distribute Mr. Sparkle in your home prefacture. Please allow watching of this information commerical.

She looks like she cries and breaks down a lot.
I know how to make her feel better, though.
Just Sayin’

What an ugly looking female.
A humble apology:
Admittedly, “slit” was a poor translation. What we meant to say was “slant”.
Nomura Internal Communications
this is so lost in translation…you must obey!
Whaddya mean dat short sleeves are da “clothes of whores??!”
I am a respected financial journalist, and best selling author. I wear short sleeves to show the world my massive triceps, and to intimidate my enemies and detractors. Dey fear me.
-cg
All your trouser are belong to us!

Crotchless boxers. FTW, imaginative category.

What’s the policy on drinking “Pocari Sweat” at work these days?
Awesome…
Bess, you nailed it again.
@14, we’ll go after Lord HawHaw and Axis Sally next
Even though you can’t see it in the picture, her hands are locked behind her back, flexing those triceps. Doing her best to look like Mariel Hemmingway in “Personal Best”.
Where is Greg?
Gay color nail polish? Rainbow colors??
Where is Shia?
I just saw Greg come back with 40 balloons from the party store and he is now tying them to a lawn chair in the backyard. Situation fluid. Will update.

@13 – it’s because everyone knows you never go full retard
Nomura: we want shallow cunts only!
WTF is up with the Greg comments on Bess’s posts? Keep that shit on his worthless posts. Don’t let Greg infect Bess’s work–even tangentially. I shouldn’t have to read his fucking name here.
@31 – I love the pocari sweat reference. You ever seen their commercial?
In the picture she looks like she’s reaching back to spread he ass checks apart. Which is typical learned behavior for a Lehman Brothers employee.
