Looking Down?

I read this interesting thread on a message board about how someone was looked down on for being a telecommuter. She said she was talking to one of her former coworkers and the lady gave her some snippy response about not having a real job.

I wish I could say that's outrageous and unbelievable but I know it's not. This does not surprise me one bit because when people don't know about something they are only left to make assumptions. Assumptions without direct knowledge usually equals ignorance.

But wait...here's the good part of the story. So the snotty lady sends the telecommuter an IM and asks about what's going on with a soap opera. She responds with something like - I am sorry but I am at work but since you are already goofing out online you can look it up yourself.

I love it!
