Yesterday I was busy with a lot of banking stuff. I felt so grown up. I never really thought I'd reach the stage where I'll be dealing with mortgages, insurance quotes, time deposit, cash flow, etc. Now that I do, it makes it real. I am officially middle age. LOL
Anyway, I was at three different banks yesterday. The staff on the last bank I visited got my blood boiling a little.
I opened a small TD. After filling out the form, I gave it back to the person attending to me. She asked me what kind of job a SAHM is. I told her it's a stay-at-home-mom. She creased her forehead, gave a smirk and asked me "but do you have a real job?" If you're a SAHM like me, I know you'd feel the same way I did. How dare she insult me? But of course I curbed my temper. So I just told her "it couldn't get any real than that!" She was about to say something but I guess she noticed the tone of my voice and seriousness of my face. She bit her lips but a smirk still escaped her mouth.
I know what she was thinking. I always encounter people like this - always looking down on SAHMs. They think they're better simply because they're holding a "job".
I hope I am still alive when the day comes that SAHMs get the proper treatment and respect they deserve.

well, you're a free-lance writer too... hehehe.
anyways, i could simply relate to that. hopefully the staff will realize we have the noblest job ever.
freelance writer...i like the sound of that. hahaha!!!
if i were you, i wouldn't open an account there. a customer should not be treated like that. someone who smirks at customer's should not be allowed to deal with customers at all.
Kayni - you're right. but i only realized that when i was out of the bank...
ay naku, buti ka nga sahm, na may datrils, e sila may job kuning kuning pero wala namang datrils?

Mano - that's hilarious! Hahaha! Hindi ko muna na-gets. Hanuveh!!!
