in a town like mine, it's hard to tell where upper middle class ends and rich begins

like in my neighborhood alone, you'll have people who make half a million a year saying they're "only" middle class. middle class compared to what, the people who own estates with gates and private tennis courts in the hills?

keeping up with the joneses is backed up by studies by this point afaik

its why corrective social policy for wealth accumulation is necessary because once people start getting rich enough it kind of breaks their brains

It was alright, but honestly a little bit too puerile for me to get into. The jokes are kind of one note.

yes, that's my exact definition of rich :smuggo:

for real though, she sounds like she was 40-50, kids in HS/College, in a loveless marriage or her husband left her for a new model and doesn't want to admit that she's a waste of a human life so she takes it out on anyone she can to feel superior to them

there was this guy once who was so frickin steamed he called me up angry and blew up when i referred to him as "man" so i said if he didn't settle down i'd hang up, and he didn't, so i did. he kept calling back and my coworker who is the only other person who picks up that number asked if he should pick it up, and i was like lol no that dude needs to chill. then that dude started angrily searching through our phone tree and somehow he called our president and well a couple days later all of us got a very long and very sincere sounding apology

it took me a minute to realize that i was too well paid to put up with that kind of poo poo from angry people, and my shirt didn't have my name on it, which is a pretty hosed up dynamic in our society

don't gently caress around, be up front, and play by their rules because that's the true bottleneck

a good deal of up front respect saves you a lot of trouble down the line

also as a project lead i am very deft in what is thrown in IT's face for "what needs to be done" and what I actually push them to do

like recently in a manager meeting it was put in my authority in front of the IT head out of the blue cant you just rewrite all our form letters for the software system we are retiring in three months and i just give a look at the IT "oh sure yeah"

that is mysteriously absent from the task list

Right now I am drinking a Belgian Farmhouse from goose island called Lolita. I already killed the buffalo trace and a bottle of wine plus the unholy rumchata and kahlua mixed drink.

Strange Beasts was a good wine and I'm real sad I don't have a second bottle to hold on to.
