    I was working with Lehman Brothers when they went bankrupt.

    Watching the collapse of a major investment bank from the inside is an interesting experience.

    Still have one of their plexiglass desk cubes listing “Our values”, which always brings an ironic smile to my face whenever I see it.

      I pulled an old free frisbee out of a box of toys my mom had saved to find it was WaMu branded. Had a little chuckle at the free plastic frisbee outliving them.
