Beat/Brag: First Job in 3 Years (PICS!!!)
 

So, I started my first real job in three years on Monday. I'm working as a runner at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Perhaps you know it as the Chicago Butter and Egg Board (if you're over 100 years old). So, far it has been pretty interesting. There's a lot of [censored] going on that is way over my head at this point as far as lingo and procedure. So, far I've spent most of my time just standing around watching stuff go down. It's pretty cool since I'm basically watching a high stakes poker game, since a lot of the futures trading is really zero sum stuff. If you have any questions (though this is NOT an ask me thread) shoot or you may be interested in some insider trading.

Here's some pics:

This is the pit about a half hour before open. It'll be packed with traders from 8:30 to 3:15. http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6632/img087ob1.jpg

This is the POS thing I sit on most of the day.

This cute little AZN trader with a bare midriff beneath the mesh stands in front of me all day. She is probably rich. Plz to be bearing my children? http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/8...0editedvt8.jpg



A book I went to get on State Street for my main boss for his son for a science project, I didn't ask questions:

Nice, the floor is definitely crazy. I'm in the Clearing House's Risk Management Division. It's so sick getting automated emails everyday about who is up/down the most in the market as well as who is above/below their tolerance level (aka "couple more days like this and poof, bye bye company!"). Corn will move up $0.20 and people will be losing hundreds of millions of dollars (usually just one company that shorts corn for the farmers that want to hedge their risk).

Btw, I don't know if you've seen her, but there's a blonde down there that is hotttt. She's on the lower trading floor. gogogo pics!
