Oh my! Bert sure turned his tail under now that Chuck's back. That was
funny.

Don, does you throat hurt?

The funniest thing about Bert is that he believes he is anything more than
a nitwit. He and the rest of the right-wing low-brain-output types declare
"victory" after "victory" here, but so far, the only trophy they have won
is the the booby prize.

But don't mess with Bert. He earns as much as a government employee.

And now you know that I make more money per year than you do.

Sure, Bertbrain. You make more than I made in the early 1970s. I'm

Tell us about your job as senior executive in 1976 when you earned
$205,000/year (current USD) Harry. That salary is especially impressive
for one in his 20's.

Did union member Joe Sixpack pay for that salary through his weekly union
dues taken out of his meager paycheck (in comparison to yours)?

Tax deductible?

I do hope to write the entire thing off as journalistic research.
So by stiffing the government out of taxes, are you prospering at the
expense and without regard to your fellow citizens?


That bulge in the side of my face isn't an absessed tooth, Doc. It's my

This thread as usual has nothing to do with me.

Are you sure? I figured that you were providing the bulge in the side of
Chuck's face.

I was a senior account executive, not a "senior executive." I suppose I
could explain the difference to you, but...why bother, eh? An ad agency
account exec performs a number of duties, including managing the account
services department, determining the need for advertising, and maintaining
the accounts of clients. I also wrote all the copy for my accounts.

And since you know I was not in my 20's, and have been advised of that at
least a half-dozen times, you're lying when you keep repeating that
mistruth.


If you were in your 30's and making $205,000/year that is equally
impressive.

Let's assume you were 35 in 1976......that would make you 64 now. Are you
that old?

"Narcissists are grandiose. They live in an artificial self invented
from
fantasies of absolute or perfect power, genius, beauty, etc. Normal
people's
fantasies of themselves, their wishful thinking, take the form of
stories --
these stories often come from movies or TV, or from things they've read or
that were read to them as children. They involve a plot, heroic activity
or
great accomplishments or adventu normal people see themselves in
action,
however preposterous or even impossible that action may be -- they see
themselves doing things that earn them honor, glory, love, riches, fame,
and
they see these fantasy selves as personal potentials, however tenuous"

"Narcissists' fantasies are tableaux or scenes, stage sets; narcissists
are hung up on a particular picture that they think reflects their true
selves (as opposed to the real self -- warts and all). Narcissists don't
see
themselves doing anything except being adored, and they don't see anyone
else doing anything except adoring them. Moreover, they don't see these
images as potentials that they may some day be able to live out, if they
get
lucky or everything goes right: they see these pictures as the real way
they
want to be seen right now (which is not the same as saying they think
these
pictures are the way they really are right now, but that is another story
to
be discussed elsewhere). Sometimes narcissistic fantasies are
spectacularly
grandiose -- imagining themselves as Jesus or a saint or hero or deity
depicted in art -- but just as often the fantasies of narcissists are
mediocre and vulgar, concocted from illustrations in popular magazines,
sensational novels, comic books even. These artificial self fantasies are
also static in time, going back unchanged to early adolescence or even to
childhood; the narcissists' self-images don't change with time, so that
you
will find, for instance, female narcissists clinging to retro styles,
still
living the picture of the perfect woman of 1945 or 1965 as depicted in The
Ladies' Home Journal or Seventeen or Vogue of that era, and male
narcissists
still hung up on images of comic-book or ripping adventure heroes from
their
youth. Though narcissists like pictures rather than stories, they like
still
pictures, not moving ones, so they don't base their fantasies on movies or
TV."

Why are you so concerned about my age? Are you planning on asking me out
on a date? Oh, and why don't you use the income number I provided? Why are
you working so hard to make it sound outlandish? It wasn't, not in the ad
biz in a major market in those days.

You are correct Harry. You said you earned $90,000/year in 1976. In todays
dollars that is $205,000/year.

What is the going rate for a senior account executive in their early to mid
30's Harry? Does $200,000/year sound a bit over the edge?

If not, I tip my hat to you Harry. I would guess you are now making well
over $1 million/year on union dues money paid by Joe Sixpack's weekly union
dues deduction.



You're trying too hard. As you did with your household computers. You were
wrong about that, too, remember? It was only earlier today.


Yep. And I acknowledged how nice of a computer you have. Remember?

I get clients to pay for many of my trips. They usually want some sort

month in Seattle, but I talked the client into putting me off until
Spring. I do hope the sun shines a little in Seattle in the Spring.


A "little" is the operative word.

Actually, once it gets to be April-Mayish, about 1/2 to 2/3 of the days
each month are at least partly sunny. But if you visit up this way we
will have to brainwash you at the airport so that when you go back east
you will repeat the official mantra; "I don't know why anybody would
ever go there. It rains all day every day....."

Of course if you make it up to Seattle you will have to give me a call
and we'll do lunch or something. :-)
