In your companies case they $150,000 for a complete wanker.

Enjoy your online fantasy. Your negativity on this forum shows your true self

It's actually a bit more than that, see my original post where I say I make over $150,000 see this is where maybe your failure in the job market lies. When you are interviewed and they ask, name a number greater than 150,000? and you reply 150,000 sir, it does'nt look too good now does it?

Now as for the acusation of being a wanker, I must admit I have masterbated in the past, during puberty it was my #1 hobby to be honest! But since I have matured and gained social skills to be able to form relashionships upon meeting people (in person, not like the socially challenged indervidualls who must rely on chatrooms to find other desperate souls) the need for self pleasuring has all but dissappeared and I can honestly say I have only had one tug since I have been married to my wife in the last 6 years. The cause of that particular pleasure fest was the fact I had been sent to China to oversee a plant my company was opening there and I was there for 3 weeks and just could not hold out.

Strangely enough when I was in China I was tasked with interviewing prospective employees, I had some pesents come off the street with no schooling at all and you know what every single on of them knew 150,000 is not greater than 150,000 it is equal to it!! And people wonder why this country need to outscourse.
WANKER!

Yes, it has the appeal of a bad traffic accident.
I will never understand how some people are impressed by how much they or others make.
Call it working class ethics? There really are more interesting things in this world than a sodding bank balance for Pete's sake.

WANKER!

Your personal sexual habits aside, I'd like to point out that it's "peasant", "one" and "outsource".

Also your sentence structure is poor to say the very least. Ideally you would want to place a full-stop after "prospective employees", commas around "you know what" and some glue word such as "but" before "it is equal". And just a single exclamation mark please. More than this to complete a sentence suggests over zealousness and immaturity in the writer.

And I dont earn anywhere near $150,000. Perchance I should ask for a raise? Or you, sir, should take some of your obviously immense salary and avail yourself of some post CSE schooling.

That's as maybe. However sometimes it is better to have people assume you are an idiot than to open your mouth and prove them so.

And it is "writing" with a single T.
