So, some things happened this weekend and it’s all really crazy and wow I can’t even get into it I’m shaking so hard even hearing it second hand. I’m just going to let the victim speak for himself. Promise me you’ll brace yourselves, okay? It’s that bad.
Hey Bess,
Yesterday I had the pleasure of escorting my special lady friend to her summer outing at RBS. The event was touted as a family friendly party, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Back in the Greenwich Capital days they would rent out Playland for a night and let everyone go crazy, but those were clearly better days. We showed up around 1 PM, assuming that 2 hours of fun was all we could stand. Outside the parking garage there were Go Karts set up from Grand Prix New York, which was actually the highlight of the party. While the sand art station and arts and crafts tables were tempting, I had to go see what they had set up on the Wii’s in the corner. There was the standard Wii Tennis and Wii Golf, but when I went to check out the “Wii Soccer” I found they had an Xbox 360 console, the same was true for the “Wii Rugby” running on a PS3. Apparently at RBS the words Wii and video games are interchangeable. So we moved on, got our pictures taken in a photo booth, and watched some schmuck slice the ball on the golf simulator they had set up. Having only worked on the buy side, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a bank party, but it definitely speaks volumes for the quality of life at RBS.
hahahahaha
I EAT WIIS AND XBOXES FOR BRUNCH.
The horror! At least UBS would have had Wii Tax Evasion.
@2 ditto on the xxxboxes
Bess, you are a naughty hawk for teasing me like that.
Bess should clarify she means pissed/angry at RBS, not pissed/angry within RBS.
1pm? They didn’t include lunch?
This kind of mistake would never happen at Rebellion Research, they would never mix up their video games. Although they do have a bit of a problem with four year old mac books and an investment strategy being interchangeable.
You know, a “special lady friend” is a whole different sacks of balls in Thailand.
i only refer to beamers girls as ‘my special lady friend’
@3, nice +1.
@9 I laughed at that one.
My first impression of this article was that someone had smashed a cubicle again.
@6 is there a difference?
I’m really pissed at Bess where is the article about the Hedge Fund Hotties? After seeing how she threw down the gauntlet on Beamers on Friday afternoon I was expecting a strong showing today but I get an article about how some dumb Scots consider an Xbox to be a Wii?
I think you are all sick.
Oh noooo! Does this mean that there are no more GC holiday parties with strippers either?? Those were quite friendly.
RBS was supposed to get STAR for their videogame entertainment, but they couldn’t find an N64 to hook it up to
Shit like this happens all the time at Rebellion Research, it’s no big deal.
beep, beep, boop, fzzt.
“I’m really pissed at bess wah wah wah she gave this Friday and I want that now wah wah wah”
You’ll get things when I say you’ll get them. Just for your comment I should delay the IR Girl list but I’m not going to let the entire group be punished because of you. IR Dimes is coming out tomorrow. So for now, why don’t you sit there and shut the fuck up?
Yea yea, I get it, fuck off @9. And stay away from my special–from my fucking lady friend, man!
I was okay with the crafts exhibits and even the video games, but the go-karts are very questionable. I will be carefully scrutinizing expense statements from this outing, because I strongly suspect the go-karts might be excessive compensation, and possibly be subject to clawback.

@20 Bess – grunted out-loud like Tim “the tool-man” Taylor after I read your comment!

RBS sucks at WoW?
IR dimes = one collie, a hot and messy thai tranny, one whiteboard marker, a carton of eggs with imitation scrots glued on, a life-size reproduction of the cover of Backdoor Sluts XII, and a slightly damaged bottle of Big Ass Cab
WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP
STAR IS UNSTOPPABLE AT FIFA 11
Patience, grasshopper.
Bess, stop being so lazy! You need to do more. More more more. Now!
@26, looks like someone else is a touch smitten …”Levin is not too far removed from attending Amherst College or, even high school in suburban New Jersey”…lol
White ankle socks and plaid skirt that day besser?
In Soviet Russia, dealbreaker Bess work hard like Ox!
@28 cant think straight, thanks
Greg,
Don’t take me to your office party and tell me the Xbox is a Wii – only to have me play a soccer game while staring at a golfer.

You’re all fired for the day. Try to do better tomorrow.
In Soviet Russia, blog writes itself.

RBS high yield group is a joke. Killilea is an evil human being and a terrible manager.
