Overpaid, underworked bosses are a necessity....

[frank the man]

I can't think of any other word to define "not succeeded"

Anyway, I'm not the poor sap who grades my success in life against how much money you can beg off a boss, or how far you can debase yourself to claw your way up the corporate ladder.

I would not call it debasing , id call it sacrificing something for a bigger reward.
You need to try it. You sound bitter.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

ok - in secular terms. is sacrificing any or all of the following:
pride
self respect
integrity
time with family and friends
happiness

worth it, if the only reward is : more money than you actually need to get by.

Rather an anticipation of Descartes, no?

 

[frank the man]

These one liners are very profound and pithy. But whats the point.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

The achievement of profundity, grasshopper.

And pithiness of course.

 

[Pingu]

Of course, if you stil travel on a bus when you're thirty...

bus...bus?

when i were thirty we used to travel on hands and knees, crawling over broken glass to get t'mill. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

workers these days... pah

[bethanybabe]

Has anybody seen the brilliant letter in the latest Private Eye about how bus-users can fuck off because they're poor and therefore their time is of no value to the economy)

Who actually uses the bus apart from pensioners

Oh god there's more of them.

Has someone been posting u75 on right wing sites again?

Whilst I agree with the sentiment, I think you're being a bit simplistic.

What if you have to sacrifice a little bit of some of the above in order to have any hope of ever being able to buy a house, or save for a decent retirement?

What sites?


I only asked because the only people I see using the bus are oaps and school age children.

Feel free to correct me tho!

nothing wrong with working hard. It's about having a good work/life balance. I think one of my bosses hit her 40s and didn't really seem to be very happy having put all her eggs in her business basket..in fact she had a breakdown.

Lack of will power. I have seen it so many times.

Just where I live here, everybody drives to work. I know it might be different in London but where we live people use their cars.

How? The woman has a very sucessful company.
