Hello, BlackFIRE!

This comment is FASCINATING. Are dealing/trading floors still like that, or have things changed as so much technology takes over?

If it was a toxic workplace I'm glad you're out of it, and good luck to you as well, working on bringing your style back to something less rushed.

Thank you so much for commenting--I love hearing about how people talk/work in the workplace. I come from libraries which tend to be more overlappy. With very long meetings.
