Thanks, I started using that line when everybody was telling me how great it must be to be able to just work at my own pace. Yeah, okay. I had to start describing this as sort of being on call 24hrs a day. I have a lot of real life friends that keep in contact via the net and they will message me at like 11pm and ask me what I am doing. When I say I am still working they almost always make some comment like 'wow, you work long hours for someone who doesn't have to go to a real job'. REAL JOB? fuck off with your sick pay and gauranteed earnings and then tell me what exactly is so unreal about this kind of work. 'Come on Sarah, you can come over here for a few days, we even have a computer if you need to check your mail and stuff'. Right, sure. Let me just go check my Anal Destruction stats on the same computer your kid plays computer games on. I love how they think I can just stop doing everything and it will be okay because it isn't a real job.
