Don't you love it when your coworkers insinuate your job isn't a real job?

Especially when they claim to be liberal in philosophy?

Much to my shock, it happened yesterday.

3. Well, it's only one in particular... but it only proves my point

at how I've been underused and not used to my full capabilities.

Time to move on. If I can. The sooner the better.

4. Cool. Is that your main job, or are you a multi-talented person,

where they let you take advantage of your skills? (or/and invest in you?)

I'll remind 'im of that too... (that many have no jobs. I job is a job.) But then, those who do not see others' jobs as real are out to get rid of them.

10. I work for myself now but....

...I was always asked to help others do their jobs in addition to my own when I was in the office environment. I guess everybody else thought I had more free time or did nothing at all therefore I could stop everything and do their work for them. Not help them do their own work, do it for them so they could play games and chat on instant messenger.
