Hamachyor getting?

Gee, I loathe that question! What is it of anyone's business but myself and the people who will be actually affected by my wages?! In Mumbai, I was the immediate object of overwhelming pity when I divulged, in polite terms, that I earned peanuts. Here, when I modestly answer that I am able to just get by quite comfortably after fulfilling my general fancies, I am embarrassed by sillier counter-questions on how I landed such a good job in London. The general opinion seems to be that I am an effing idiot.

To make matters worse, I am an Affiliate Manager. I have seen some of the elderly lot go senilely soggy over the powerful implications of the word Manager *yawn* - except that I am not really a Manager.. In any case, I don't see why someone who I do not know or care about should actually know and care about my designation or what's on my Payslip.

At the (enjoyable) risk of being offensive, I have flatly refused to give out figures to people I don't give a button for. I did what I said I would, so in the words of Jack (the ripper) - Ha!
