CatGar – Next time you leave the desk(s), sprinkle some glitter around. When he bitches at you just tell him it’s no more of a p.i.t.a. than food detritus.
CGar…get one of those air spray cans that they use to clean keyboards. Spray it around a lot when he’s there and he’ll get the picture si=oon enough unless he’s a true neanderthal trader.
Also, you’re on a trading floor for Christ’s sake. Stand up on the desk and swear up a storm and yell and scream that you’re not taking his shit anymore. This is what acceptable trading floor behaviour used to be and as long as you don’t say anything totally non-PC should be fine nowadays too.
Give them a reason to either fear you or think you’re a real nutjob.
CGAR does he floss in front of everyone? Clip his nails?
gargle and spit mouthwash in his wastepaper basket?
I worked with a guy who found an old sandwich lodged in the historical archives on his desk. Everything was filed in a vertical pile chronologically. In June, he found the sandwich filed around February.
Rob, I am unabashedly and unapologitically in love with Derek Jeter. I give a little sigh when he gets up to bat and whisper his name softly.
LOL, m4l.
And, donatella, lucky for you that the Yankees won last night. Jussayin’. Otherwise the “Curse of Donatella” would’ve been alive and well.
CGar, that should be easy guess as there’s a tiny # of PLUSA in Cobble. if it was you, then it must be……
I know M4L. It is coming at the worst possible time. He is also getting married. AND selling his 20 million dollar apartment AND building a monster house in Miami.
So, I share 2 of my 3 desks here with another guy, who I really like a lot (nh). But every time I’m up here after he’s been here, it takes me 10 minutes to clean up the food particles he leaves behind — on the desk, in and on the keyboard, in all the grooves that double as file cabinet handles. Sheesh! It’s like working in Animal House.
Which PLUSA parked their car on Clinton Street in Cobble Hill last night???
The license plate was SNDEVAG.
(OK, it was just VAG, but still . . .)
“CGar, your ass in my dream is for another night.”
Though I think you’re all talk and no action, ET, so I’ll hold my breath before you have my ass. Tell me, ET, do you like to do it in front of a mirror, or do mirrors tend to crack when you look into them???
