Gotcha.  All quiet here on the east coast, unless this post jinxes it.

Amen to that, Bodie. Gorgeous, warm, sunny cloudless day out here in the Wild West. Much more uplifting to get sacked now than in the dead of winter. A beautiful afternoon to take the dog out for a stroll.



Only paid through the end of the week, but what the heck, we feel like we’re getting away with something, at least until Friday. Didn’t get stressed toward the end of the trading day either. Was nice.



Good luck back there in the decadent East. Here’s praying things remain quiet in your branch. May you and your clients enjoy the economic recovery together.

What part of the country is you’re friend referring to? 

How do you know appt with BOM tomorrow for atlantic region?

flboy4,

Campy, without giving your specific tenure, what quitile NNA and Production were you?  If you are unwilling to give specifics, were you less than 2/2, 3/3??

Today was brutal…Saw several people walked out-- some that were never going to make it (not all their fault), some that had made it in the past but were falling fast and unwilling to adjust, and staff that were core to our client service model in the branch.  This one is hurting everyone including local management, and it’s definitely a good night to marinate some cubes.

Lew, are you in the NW, SW?  Just curious based on some of the other comments in here.  Nice tip of the cap to Art too.

Dunno exactly what those numbers mean, but I’m gonna say yes. The last 1.5 years were not a happy situation in a small city.

If anyone is interested in a regional self clearing firm that has the traditional wire house PCG side as well as an independent channel send me a PM. We have been talking to several UBS guys over the last few weeks. Either their branch got sold or they were just looking to make a move and beat UBS to the punch.

I just received an Outlook meeting invitation from my Branch Manager titled "Bloodbath".  Should I accept?

What state are you located?
