I used to be rich. 8 years of marriage, got divorced and now I'm poor. At least I'm still invoicing working my way back to being rich.

When you have worked for £3.00 an hour (pre minimum wages), contract wages seem like Premiership money. Trust me!Originally posted by EternalOptimist View PostI have ths, er, friend, who posts on this , er, internet forum right.
He feels he is being bullied professionally at work, but he gets paid like a footballer so he doesnt mind too much.
but I feel he is being paid less than that, maybe as much as a semi-pro
so I want to tell him that he is being semi-professionally bullied, but I dont want to offend him

Just having a bad day, shall snap out of it tonight and be back here tomorrow to continue invoicing.

Perhaps arrange a meeting to organise some kind of surprise "cheer up matey" party. Don't invite him of course.
Or just man up and tell him he stinks of poverty.
