   Except investing gains an hourly wage which shows up on a W2.  Plus you   
   don't really need to dig into paper records because they're available   
   online.  Merely log onto your Social Security account, then go  to   
   "Earnings Record":  it lists one's annualized wages by year, all the way   
   back to whenever you started having reportable income.

   Its common terminology for denoting increased responsibility hierarchy.   
   Why is it that even a supposed "putz" knows this, yet you don't? Hmmm...
