Drunk Article #19: St. Patrick’s Day At My Old Job Versus At Funny Or Die

Hello, my name is Jesse Neil and this is my second week at Funny Or Die. Before this I was a Sales Comparables Analyst at a Commercial Real Estate Trending and Forecasting Firm. Below is a breakdown of how I spent St. Patrick ‘s Day at my two most recent places of employment.

Sales Analyst Position ‘ Check daily leads from numerous respected real estate publications.

FOD ‘ Receive an e-mail asking me to publish a piece about a Playboy article that includes the words fuck, shit, bitch, and Azealia Banks. “Don ‘t forget to include pictures,” it reminds me. “Here ‘s one I did about a Taiwanese porn star for reference,” the e-mail says in a relaxed, non-real estate tone.
