  1. I peeked into the OT late yesterday en route to Closing Bell and saw the annoyances you all posted.

    Let me add to people who stop to talk/text on the subway stairs and people who walk more than one abreast on the sidewalk, people who stick their hands into an elevator door as it’s almost closed, starting the launch sequence anew.

  2. “I heard about a vendor that sends bacon egg and cheeses and other post-hangover goodies the day after a firm’s holiday party – that’s good thinking!”

    His Jewish clients must be thrilled. Or does he send bagels, lox and cream cheese to them?

  3. jessi, if the vendor has any left over bacon, egg & cheese sammiches, please send them CDog’s way. I had to take her to the Vet on Monday, and he asked if she was eating, so I said she refused to eat her food Saturday night, but scarfed down a bacon, egg & cheese sammich Sunday morning.

  4. I get gift baskets too, which I appreciate and go a longer way than a card. Some good arguments, especially the one from Jessi, made for a real live holiday card. I think I agree with CGar that it’s both tacky and environmentally friendly.

  5. “which ever Grisham novel movie starred Cruise and involved mob lawyers”

    Thanks, Slopey. It was “The Firm”. As it happens, it was also my first law firm – NOT kidding either, as John Gotti’s lawyer rented space from us, and I worked with him a lot on civil matters. He’s a great guy actually, and we became friends. A lot more to the story, but definitely not for the OT.
