Man, I feel a bit ambushed this morning. I showed up early for tax prep(I can never get the start time right for some reason) and the site manager decided now was a good time to talk with me about "what I'm doing with my life". Gah, seriously? She asked how I was finding tax prep, and I said it was great for volunteering but that I wouldn't want to do it professionally. Then she started asking me about my life goals, what I looking for in a job, what are my interests, let's find you a career... She acted worried and put off when I told her straight out that I wasn't looking for a job right now. Is it really so inconceivable that hubby and I are fine with one income and I can actually be happy without a career? And besides, what business is it of hers anyway? Bah - it's a sore point for me, I know, I just seem to run into that a lot, a conversation with someone new coming to an awkward halt because they can't quite grasp that I'm choosing not to work for money, that I'm not trying to "fix" the situation because it's not actually broken. That, or "Gee it must be nice to sit around and watch tv (or whatever) all day". Sigh. Okay, I feel better now.
