The bowl looks a bit like a sakazuki (sake dish) so I was just thinking... load it with sake, and when your stress levels get too high, it tells you to take a sip before going back to work!
Why the bowl? Couldn't the bracelet itself tell me? If I'm that stressed out about something I'm not going to be paying attention to a bowl. And what would really stress me out is having to carry a bowl around.
Kind of cool, but is there any evidence traders make worse decisions when they are stressed? I can think of other jobs where stress might be a concern. For example, air traffic controllers. If it turns red maybe someone should step in to assist.
Is the bowl turning bright red likely to just make them more stressed than they were already? Red tends to be threatening, that might be the wrong signal.
How much money would they potentially lose by stepping away from the computer? I don't know that you actually have the luxury to step away at the points where things are happening the fastest.
@jdale: Yah, there's evidence of it. Little bit of stress: good. Too much stress: brain no think rationally. And that's not a good thing when you're playing the stock market. Stepping away from the computer for a couple minutes will net out better results than getting the day-trading equivalent of road rage.
Whoever has been using my BeDazzler needs to stop right now! It's MY BeDazzler. I know it's mine because it has a sparkly unicorn sticker on the grip and I have my name on it.
Everyone around here is a bunch of thieves. You guys are always stealing my stuff. Buick never gave me back my crayons and Curves has, like, five of my Strawberry Shortcake dolls.
It's a slippery slope from giving your gf a rhinestone USB bracelet, to chaining a sparkly pendent with an entire universe in it around the neck of your cat.
@Curves: it's not intended to creep you out, it's just clownin, really my screen name is Joe_The_Plumber, and that's my icon, but I thought it was funny to use the squid billies quote on there, cause it looks so damn funny to me.
@Joe_TheRapist: OK, I did not even SEE Therapist when I read it, only TheRapist. (I am sorry I dont know who the squidbillies are.) If I was your PR person, I would advise you to put some note to about in your profile, so none of the ladies freak out and spray you with Mace, Tazers you, or whips out her Brass Knuckles (all featured here on Giz) to fight you off.
They will BLING anything wont they......I blame Paris Hiltion for this travesty. But your GirlGeekFriend a bracelet and/or a drive, but dont combo them, its just Tack.

Boss: Okay but I don't think your fancy little bowl will be too happy when you are standing in the unemployment line.

"No thanks."
"What?!? Hurry! They'll be here any minute, I can hear the helicopters now!"
"Yeah, I don't think so."
"What's wrong with you?!?!"
"I'm not taking that bracelet anywhere. It's horrendous. Couldn't you have just used a regular thumb drive or something?"
"I don't think you understan..."
"Oh, I understand. But I'm still not taking that bracelet."
