    Are you kidding? Vague Star Trek II reference. You must be a former Lehman Quant.

    Slightly off topic but are there any updates on that MS tax guy who had his dinner stolen last Friday?

    You would think that a Ph.D would do a better job at insider trading.

    This 'securities lawyer' had a killer year if he bought a place in 2007 for say $2.5MM and is now considering a place for $25.9MM.

    How is this at 60+ comments without: Being executed is the new killing it!

    Those tits are getting old.

    @46 TC Watch the bedbug jokes or you might end up waking up in a natural gas trader's mustache on a G-8 going to Calgary.

    I think what Dr. Kealey is really trying to say here is, "Those tits never get old."

    @82 Tax Chick, keep the comments sassy. I wouldn't want to wreck the mental picture I have of you with an association with swine.

    From the Lek Career Page: "Lek Securities Corporation seeks an Operations International VP Responsibilities will include: Collect and analyze information to define operational problems and asses needs; analyze and develop database processes for automation. Requirements: MBA; Experience using C#; PowerPoint, SQL, VB Dot Net and Microsoft Excel including Pivot Table functions; Goal Seek; VBA programming for macros and Conditional Formatting." - Why would you list conditional formatting as a necessary job skill, as it can be taught to someone in about 3 minutes? This place sounds like a joke, but in this market I'm sure this little e-mail will make applications go through the roof.

    Anal_yst, Yes they are still building that condo (right outside my window). It's on 45th Street on the 6th Ave side. What looks like the same rat used to be right in front of the condo.

    Awesome Star Trek II reference. Clearly the best movie of the series. "I've done more than kill you. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on...hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me. As you left her. Marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet. Buried alive... Buried alive... Buried alive..."

    It has always been clear that just about everyone from crazy job applicants with workout videos, to kids who dress up like a fairy, summer interns, CEO's and everyone in between is up on the block. However, they always welcomed comments from the objects of their attention and said they would take things down if you appealed to their sense of common human decency. http://dealbreaker.com/2007/03/how-to-lose-friends-and-influe.php If this woman is so upset she should write a short note to Bess and EP saying so and calmly ask them to at least take the pictures down. Those tossing out the claims of sexism should review some old DB posts and they will find that this site is an equal opportunity ridiculour.
