Relatively Speaking
by Dan Reinhold
It's so true.
That old saying about friends and relatives?
And when you w0rk at h0me??? Hooooboy...
That's when Aunt Mary talks to your mother
about someone she saw on Oprah "just like" you who ended up penniless,
deranged and living on the street.
So what that you've received three new contracts and are not accepting more projects until 2015?
And Cousin Susie who's bragging to
everyone (especially in hearing range of you) about her wonderful 6%
raise after two years with her employer...
...not mentioning, for some reason, that her childcare costs have
risen so much she needed 10% more at least...
While you smile with the knowledge that your business revenues
have increased 15% in the last quarter.
Then there's your brother, who states in
no uncertain terms that all this w0rk at h0me nonsense is just scams
and ripoffs and a bunch of fly-by-nights and you're crazy to do it.
As you hold the opened envelope from
today's mail containing the letter announcing that the 18 year old Dow
Jones listed company
you represent is rewarding your efforts with a
seven-day all expense paid cruise to the Bahamas.
And Uncle Henry, AGHAST that you did not send your kids to
preschool - "They'll be way behind the other kids!!"
But somehow, your little first grader is
reading at a third grade level. And there's never been any vague
telephone messages about your
kid getting hurt, but the doctor said...
They tell you it's not real work, just a hobby.
Ahh yes...it's all in the family.
