the salary paradox

September 20, 2007

I.Am.Fuckin'.Craving.For.A.Big-ass.Decent.Burger. And a big pile of greasy bacon and hot bread and maybe some salad greens and mayo and mustard to go with it.

It's a funny thing, having work. you have work, work hard even. then you get your salary.

*flashback, a month before getting work and getting that first paycheck*

'i'm soooo going to buy this and that and eat there and here and…'

*end flashback*

now when you get your hard-earned, tax-deducted salary, you start thinking like this:

'oh, i won't eat there or buy this for now, better save for this and that…'

'fuck! this is expensive! i won't eat here, i'll just go back to cold packed home-cooked lunches and tepid water and MSG-laden chips and…'

where's the justice in that? you work your ass off, then you scrimp on yourself. that's not right… i think. then again, the miser in me is now branding me a heathen ad denouncing me for being a *gasp* spendthrift. maybe it's the upbringing. still. i want my burger. and my bacon. and the pizza. and…

(no, don't wonder why i became this big-ass porcine version of Homo sapien.)

It's fun making sand castles and then
