When we're not busy...

#1...

CS: "There's an error in the model!" (followed by laughter from ST and CS).
Me: "I thought it was all hardcoded?"
CS: "Yeah... there's a formula in it!"

#2...

ST: "Woo-hoo!"
Me: "Must be good news?"
ST: "My model's working! Wait, what's it doing? Why is it doing that? Dammit!"

#3... (after another late night marathon session with credit executives that goes nowhere)

SM: "That's it, I'm going for a pizza and editing my resume."

#4...

*SMASH*
(Sound of another Blackberry dying an honorable death at the hands of an angry director.)

#5... (after a mandatory fire drill)

HM: "Wow I'm tired after walking down 19 friggin' flights of stairs."
CM: "You fat bastard."

UPDATE: back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back 4.30am finishes are not fun, even more so when the "hard deadline" you were working towards gets moved because your client couldn't get their equity piece in place BEFORE they asked for debt (as most right-minded managers would do). Many Blackberries died last week due to this, please take a moment of silence to commemorate them before we upgrade.
