Indeed, promotions demand that you get yourself a bottle of liquor or wine that costs more than the average dirty poor's car payment.

Or computer parts. Last promotion I got I treated myself to a nice new LCD.

Because of my recent embolism, I can't drink alcohol for 6 months. :gloomy

I'm thinking of dropping about $1k on upgrading my car stereo. I should make a thread about that. :pimp

What do you do now? Did you get a nice boost in pay as well?

Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on April 10, 2008, 10:11:59 PM

I do the same thing I've been doing for a while, I just have a title that reflects that now. ;)

I got a nice pay rise, too!

I wish I bought cool things when I finished a well paying job, all I ever do is save money for a house.  Also for impending dental surgery, although I'm looking into health insurance but without an employer it is fuck expensive.

kind of

you move up the chain, basically.  at level 10 you get your pet, or your first "subordinate."

at lvl 40, you get your mount.  or what they call a "secretary"
