Bitter much?

Sometimes I think I've recovered from my intense, reflexive hatred of anyone with money. After all, I make a pretty serious money these days.

But, some guy that I'd been chatting to on an online personals website had been talking about how his early retirement was boring, and how he might get a job to fill the time.



I hated him so much.

I wrote this reply, that I sort of regret.

Jed-

I don't think we could be friends.

In general, I find it really difficult to get along with people that have money. I find that usually we have no common frame of reference and no common ground.

A large part of my professional life is pretenting to care about the concerns and politics of people more successful than myself. I have been embittered by the experience.

I know that I'm being unfair.

Sorry,

Mike

The old white-trash Westminster Mike lives on. I may be "the man," but, that doesn't stop me from hating "the man." Fuck authority, silent majority
