winneganfakeI've discovered something that truly pisses me off on a personal level.
I'm posting it as a general warning, and a combined vent at the same time.
Do not treat me like I do not have a day job. Do not even suggest that I don't.
This is my day job:
It's rewarding, I love it, but it's one hell of a commitment (no benefits, no financial recompense, no vacations, and I'm not allowed to quit.) and it generally is hard to do some of the things I would've done if I were here sans day job.
This is my work on a bad day:
Which happens quite regularly right now as the office manager is currently teething. Which means that sometimes it's hard to get out the door to grab breakfast even, because the office manager is crying, fussing, and thrashing about so much it's hard to get her into her car seat.
Cute babypics aside, do not fucking treat me as if I am unemployed, without a life, or otherwise able to do anything a non-employed person would do.
I have a fucking job. And it takes more energy, determination, and sheer bollocks than some of you will ever posess.
(end rant)

Date: 2004-12-21 08:50 pm (UTC)Working at home, whether you're making art or raising a family, or fucking forbid, BOTH, is stigmatized in our society. America is so funny, we have such a love/hate relationship with authority. No one wants to pay their taxes or their parking tickets, but someone sees someone else living and working without a "boss" and a "time clock" they must be some kind of dangerous social misfit or bonbon eating soap watching hausfrau.
