in finance people joke about the 'broker's bottle', which is what the sales people use under the desk if clients and markets both require their non-stop attention.

i mean, it's just a joke, nobody really has these in an air-conditioned office, and these desk workers are generally still pretty well taken care of, all things considered. by the time one is 5 years in, one should be able to go 12 hours without ever leaving their chair, it's just part of the on-the-job training.
