New Job

So, my bout of unemployment was very short lived, and I am now gainfully employed. Hooray!

But, that means my shop is still full of unfinished projects. It means I need to get my applications for Grad school together in my spare time. It means my reading is getting neglected (although to be fair, it might not have anything to do with not having free time).

The job is lawn care. It is interesting, I suppose. I mean, I have never done lawn care specifically, so I am learning new stuff. But, it has exposed me to something that I have not experienced in a while.

It has been a long time since I have been talked down to.

I think people just assume that since I am working for a lawn care company, I am an idiot. Or uneducated. Or somehow less worthy of respect.

It is frustrating certainly, but thankfully it is only the occasional person that does it, and I tend to have a pretty thick skin about this kind of thing. But, there was one lady who was just nasty. I about broke and asked her who she thought she was, to be talking to me like that... but I held my tongue.

Oh well. It is work.
