My man got his promotion!

[warrior queen]

He just rang me.... new pay rate is $1300/day

 

[thirty]

Congrats!


He could afford at least 10 women if he were in China.

Hah!
He's actually really lucky to have me....I am a miser, and I do not enjoy spending money.
I see his workmates living with almost nothing when they get back from their swing at work because their girlfriend/wife spends all their $ while they are away!

Everything about you screams tasteless.

 

[warrior queen]

Everything about you screams tasteless.

Why?
Because I don't go round spending other people's money?
Because I live on a farm?
Because I am hot as fuck and I have way more sex than you?
Because I have a collection of classic V8 cars?
Because I don't like assholes around me?
Because I understand EXACTLY who I am?
Because I have a wonderful circle of friends who would do anything for me (as I would for them)?
Do I need to go on?

 

[warrior queen]

Or maybe, it's because I am thrilled as all getout that my man, who has worked extremely hard to get where he is, has finally cracked the half a mil barrier?

Perhaps you should have said "I'm a little envious that someone like you, who I don't like, seems to have it easy!"

 

[ChinaBandit]

Wow!

I just figured out that I made $1643 per day in 2011.

Where did all my money go????

So defensive.

All those things -- if any of them are true -- are great.

There are a lot of wealthy, happy, confident people on this board. But every single one of them is classier than you in every way.

I wouldn't have faulted you for sharing your happy news with us that your SO got a promotion. That's great news for him, and the accompanying payrise is great, too.

But a tasteful thread would have read, "My SO just got a promotion, I am so proud of him, and glad that he's going to be able to have a more comfortable existence now with the extra money he earns."

But you said nothing about your pride in him, your happiness for him -- all you could talk about was a dollar sign.

Did nobody ever teach you how crass it is to brag about how much money you earn - and indeed, you're not even earning it here, which makes you sound hugely like a gold digger?

I generally think you're pretty much full of crap with the shit you talk about -- but in this case, it's actually sadder if it's true because then it means you aren't just attention seeking, you're tacky, shallow and attention seeking.

It says something about you that you assume just because people don't brag about all the things in their lives that makes them happy that this must mean it doesn't exist.

Your own narcissistic compulsion blinds you.

I'm waiting for the response. This is getting interesting.

My 'narcissistic compulsion'?
That's actually laughable - given that there is only one mirror that counts in my life, and that's how those I love see me!

My man has sucked it up and earned a very low wage for some time in order to get his sea time up to get this.
He's as proud as punch to have made it to the half a mil earning bracket.
Why shouldn't I BRAG about it?
He has damn well earned every fucking cent he is going to get from here on in!

And hell YES - in this day and age, with how things are, worth is very much measured in $'s.

I really could give a flying fuck about how you personally feel about me reporting this on lit.... haven't you figured that out?

 

[warrior queen]

We have a very strict budget.... planning for some fun times in the future.
I keep a tab on every single thing we spend, and I am very careful not to be wasteful.

I've met one miser in my life. You aren't one. Not even close.

 

[warrior queen]

With the exception of very few here (and those know who I refer to), this place is my 'blog'.
I come here to say the things I don't say in my r/l - not because I can't, but because in my r/l I am actually a much-liked person who takes into account the sensitivities of whomever I interact with.
Here, I can say whatever the fuck I please, whichever way I choose to!
And if anyone doesn't like that, or takes exception, there's an iggy button available.

From some of the things I post here, it may not seem so.
But I have just finished soaking my mascara tube in hot water so I can add a little warmed distilled water to it and I don't have to go buy a new one!

Going back to the vain comment of yesterday, who the hell is narcissistic enough to tell people how liked they are?

 

[ChinaBandit]

Cat fight. Take your seats, smoke 'em if you got 'em.

*laughs* of course you care.

it's why you post here -- as opposed to on, well, your blog.

because you want - you need the audience.

as much as you claim not to care, you crave the validation you think you can get by blathering about what you think people ought to be impressed with. and you deny it, but it galls you to no end that people really don't like you here. because if it really were enough for you that people, ahem, apparently like you irl, you wouldn't need to keep on protesting about it. "i'm really popular elsewhere! i really am!"

thanks for confirming that you really do measure worth in $s though.

Since two people can live resonably on a tenth of what your bloke will now earn, how darn big was that raise, if you had to tighten the belt before? If just promotion means he goes from having a tight budget to a half mil income, it sounds like his employer has a wage disparancy issue and adamn rickety career ladder.

Just curious.

Going back to the vain comment of yesterday, who the hell is narcissistic enough to tell people how liked they are?

it's weird, i think the narcissism is actually a big sign of insecurity.

secure, happy, confident people don't need to constantly inform people of how great they think they are.

being well liked is something that's self evident, if you keep having to tell people you're liked, you're probably deluding yourself.

 

[bg23]

Additionally, I hate to quibble with your math here, but even if your SO worked 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year, it's still only 473200. Which I doubt he does. a 5 day a week schedule makes 338k.

So I'm going to go ahead and just say you're once again, full of nonsense.

you really shouldn't do that. it's just asking for a nasty infection.
you should buy the tiny tubes and replace them every three months.
having nasty boils in your eyelash follicles doesn't look very glam.

 

[ChinaBandit]

This is great!

God, please turn on the surround sound to make it truly perfect!

Life's little pleasures.

Because you haven't got a fucking clue, I shall help you....
His benefits take him to just under 600K.
Happy now?

Or does the fact that I didn't put that in my original post mean I'm not quite as vain and materialistic as you thought?

I've never had an eye infection.

I use mascara every day.... so my tube doesn't quite go the recommended 3 months before needing to be replaced - unless I add distilled water.
