I have 2 friends/acquaintances on facebook who tend to post a lot about what new expensive things they've bought and how wonderful their life is etc etc. I'm not jealous because if we wanted a new massive TV/car/whatever, we'd get one. However, we believe there's more to life and we're happy as we are. Money and possessions aren't everything :Very Happy

No offence Dave but you sound kind of shallow to me,boasting about your car and house,made me cringe when i read that. I'm annoyed at myself for feeling sorry for you but i do. I hope that one day you can come to understand and appreciate the truly valuable things in life,none of which can be bought with any amount of money!

Good one, raised a chuckle. And thanks for responding to my praise. But sorry, not up to the same standards as your other posts. They showed real comedy craftsmanship, and really tickled. By saying this I don't mean to depress, just to inspire you to reach those comedic heights again. Please, use my words to start a comedy fire in you.

Oh dear. I just saw a bit about the dispute on the news and thought i'd add my tupence.

It seems I am to be one of the minority who has really beaten those management swines and unfortunatly the majority appear to be content in going round and round in circles.

Good luck to you all, I shall not be posting again. :left:

I know a sales manager in the motor trade who earns around the 60k mark and is always driving the latest and most expensive (around 80k) model of car they sell. On the outside it looks a fairy tail job of the high life and all the rewards it brings. :hmmmm

The truth is somewhat different however. In reality the guy is stressed to the hilt over the monthly, quarterly sales figures and the effect that its going to have on his bonus (which makes up his 60k) or even keep his job as someone younger is always snapping at his heels. The pressure is there because of a large mortgage, (funny enough his house is smaller than ours) car tax bill and a heavy credit (live for now) lifestyle. The more you earn the more you spend. :roll:

Personally its not for me. Call me a bottom feeder but I like to walk away from my job at 2pm and not think about it till I go back the next morning. I may feel tired but this gives me all of my attention to spend with my family and other interests instead of poring over sales predictions and producing PowerPoint presentations for the following days work.

If Dave is one of these people who is happy with the stress attached to the job then good luck to him and iam glad things are working out.

Why he would come back on here to bother boasting about it is a mystery to me though :hmmmm
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

You are a bottom feeder. :Very Happy

I know a sales manager on 80k but he's got a small penis.
