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 ‘ Arrive promptly at 9 a.m. and commence online research for market activity in Southeastern U.S. markets.

FOD ‘ Walk in at 10:20ish to find a mountain of beer and Jameson is being slowly consumed and has been since 9ish.

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.

Sales Analyst Position ‘ Download and generate daily cap rates for publication.

FOD ‘ Somebody calls me a pussy for not doing a shot.

Sales Analyst Position ‘Enter 10 ’12 sales records for markets such as Houston, Tampa, and Chicago.

FOD ‘ Somebody else calls me a pussy for a very similar reason.

Sales Analyst Position ‘ We have a meeting to talk about increasing productivity so we can meet demand goals for a large client we are trying to secure.
