filo_: But the higest salaried emplyee would make about 10 times what I make
[09:21am] filo_: and I'm mid-management
[09:21am] filo_: This is very unusual
[09:22am] chanceyrose: you are not salaried?
[09:22am] filo_: But we are mostly US-based
[09:22am] filo_: not really
[09:22am] chanceyrose: ah
[09:22am] filo_: I get a base salary and a bonys
[09:22am] filo_: bonus
[09:22am] chanceyrose: here, almost anyone sitting at a desk is salaried
[09:22am] filo_: My base is unimpressive
[09:22am] chanceyrose: hmm
[09:23am] chanceyrose: i have only a salary... no opportunity for bonus
[09:23am] chanceyrose: and that is typical
[09:23am] filo_: It's quite nasty
[09:23am] filo_: you are basically at the company's whim
[09:23am] chanceyrose: yes
[09:23am] filo_: I could easily get a few to several year salaries in bonus
[09:23am] chanceyrose: wow
[09:23am] chanceyrose: that is why you work insane hours
[09:23am] filo_: this is a global top-10 trading firm
[09:23am] filo_: I'm a desk head in their best branch
[09:24am] chanceyrose: and so better bonuses
[09:24am] filo_: <nods>
[09:24am] filo_: This is very un-Dutch
[09:25am] chanceyrose: most get a flat salary?
[09:25am] filo_: In fact, they want to ban salaries over the prime minister's
[09:25am] filo_: yeah
[09:25am] filo_: or hourly wage
[09:25am] chanceyrose: ban salaries?
[09:25am] filo_: no, over the prime minster's
[09:25am] chanceyrose: meaning no one can make more than the PM?
[09:25am] filo_: so over 300 K dollar
[09:25am] filo_: Exactly
[09:25am] chanceyrose: another disincentive to being successful
[09:26am] filo_: correct
[09:26am] filo_: plus, the tax benefit is peanuts
[09:26am] filo_: I'd leave if that were to happen
[09:26am] chanceyrose: i wouldn't blame you at all
[09:26am] filo_: And not because of the money
[09:27am] filo_: Although you Americans are screwed in that respect
[09:27am] chanceyrose: how so? (we are screwed up in many respects)
[09:27am] filo_: IRS taxes global income
[09:27am] filo_: So fleeing won't help
[09:27am] chanceyrose: oh, yes
[09:27am] filo_: I'll try to avoid having my kids born on US soil
[09:28am] chanceyrose: unless you are an american working and living abroad for a certain amount of time
[09:28am] chanceyrose: then that income is not taxed
[09:28am] chanceyrose: by the US, anyway
[09:28am] filo_: practical filo is practical
[09:28am] chanceyrose: lol
[09:29am] filo_: capital gains are
[09:29am] chanceyrose: yes
[09:29am] chanceyrose: but not income
[09:29am] filo_: Capital gains can be...
[09:29am] filo_: impressive
[09:29am] chanceyrose: yes,
[09:30am] filo_: I love making money without working
[09:30am] chanceyrose: i don't like our tax system
[09:30am] filo_: With you
[09:30am] chanceyrose: lol..
[09:30am] filo_: It's very complex to boot
[09:30am] chanceyrose: yes, too complex
[09:30am] filo_: <nods>
[09:30am] filo_: I've had to fill in some forms for the IRS
[09:30am] chanceyrose: and at too many different levels
[09:31am] filo_: I can't imagine the average American understanding them
[09:31am] filo_: And that's not because of your intelligence
[09:31am] chanceyrose: no, that's why we have tax professionals
[09:31am] chanceyrose: 6years of university just to be able to decod the tax code
[09:31am] filo_:
[09:31am] chanceyrose: decode*
[09:31am] filo_: I can do mine in about 2 hours
[09:32am] filo_: And mine is pretty complex
[09:32am] chanceyrose: wow
[09:32am] chanceyrose: i wish
[09:32am] filo_:
[09:32am] filo_: I hate paying
[09:32am] chanceyrose: between the deductions, earned income... i don't have time to study it all for the best benefit
[09:32am] chanceyrose: as do i
[09:33am] filo_: When I get my bonus cheque
[09:33am] filo_: and 52% is taxed
[09:33am] filo_: I cry
[09:33am] chanceyrose: oh fuck
[09:33am] filo_: I imainge the welfare queens
[09:33am] chanceyrose: that's wayyyyyy too much
[09:33am] chanceyrose: yes!!!!
[09:33am] filo_: My ex is one
[09:33am] chanceyrose: that's why i have issues with taxation
[09:33am] filo_: I tihnk I support about 4
[09:33am] chanceyrose: why should i work my ass off so they can get a bigger one
[09:34am] filo_: LOLOLOLOL
[09:34am] filo_: I mean, if they were to come to my house
[09:34am] chanceyrose: taxation discourages hard work
[09:34am] filo_: to "work"
[09:34am] filo_: You know, marital duties
[09:34am] chanceyrose: lol
[09:34am] filo_: I'd be gentle
[09:34am] chanceyrose: yeah, sure you would
[09:34am] filo_: Give them 2 weeks on 2 weeks off

[09:36am] chanceyrose: lol
[09:36am] filo_: I've looked up the stats at Wikipedia
[09:36am] chanceyrose: someone told me once that each man has only so many orgasms in him
[09:36am] filo_: LOL
[09:36am] filo_: that's BS though
[09:36am] filo_: just that women wear out
[09:36am] chanceyrose: i think my ex reache his lifetime max
[09:36am] chanceyrose: lol

[09:40am] filo_: I bet you are a fine specimen
[09:40am] chanceyrose: i'm convinced that i am!
[09:41am] filo_: That's all that matters
[09:41am] filo_: I'm really curious who your lucky guy is going to be
[09:42am] chanceyrose: me too
[09:42am] filo_: I'm curious whether Ana is mine
[09:42am] filo_: Everyone seems to like her a lot
[09:42am] chanceyrose: do you have concerns?
[09:42am] filo_: Of course
[09:43am] filo_: It's going at light speed
[09:43am] filo_: There is the Atlantic Ocean
[09:43am] chanceyrose: yes, it is
[09:43am] chanceyrose: yes, big barrier
[09:43am] filo_: My experiences with INFJ were harrowing
[09:43am] chanceyrose: i understand the reluctance to engage someone else of the same type
[09:44am] chanceyrose: it is why i don't think i will EVER want another feeler
[09:44am] chanceyrose: or extrovert
[09:46am] filo_: Well, I'd date an ISTJ again in a heartbeat
[09:46am] filo_: Stupidly enough, I let that ship sail

[09:46am] chanceyrose: why stupid?
[09:46am] filo_: well, I picked ana

[09:47am] filo_: what?
[09:47am] chanceyrose: i understand very well
[09:47am] filo_: I used to pick my dates like that
[09:47am] filo_: Plus vs minus
[09:47am] chanceyrose: might be why you ultimately were unhappy
[09:47am] filo_: Yes
[09:47am] filo_: So now I'm going for personality
[09:47am] filo_: Of course, I didn't compute in their personality
[09:48am] chanceyrose: i think i would like to pick my next one online... engage the mind before i consider anything else
[09:49am] filo_: I did that with Ana too
[09:49am] filo_: No idea she was that hot
