At least he died happy

From the London Evening Standard...

A City trader who jumped to his death from the 19th floor of the Park Lane Hilton was driven to suicide by the pressures of work, an inquest heard. Credit Suisse employee Darren Liddle, 26, spent the night bingeing on cocaine and also drank alcohol from the hotel's minibar before falling 200 feet while his girlfriend looked on.


Well if you're going to go you might as well go whilst you're pissed as a rat and out of your tree on Columbian Marching Powder.

For the record your scaly green friend used to work for BigCo Credit Suisse and left after 18 months without waiting to pick up his annual bonus; yes it really was that bad, quite the most dreadful place it has ever been my misfortune to sit at a desk in. Honestly it it wasn't for the truly world-class sausage sandwiches they did on the 9th floor I would have left after a month. I'm actually amazed that they don't have to put netting around their Canary Wharf premises to catch the falling bodies.
