(There is a small element of 'fred about a fred' to this, for which apologies)
- Having been engaged in a lengthy difference of opinion with me on another thread, a poster has this evening announced that she can see from my posting history that I am 'not a grafter'.
She can only be referring to the 'years out' that I took to care for my child who has Autism (the only break from paid employment I have ever had).
- Also this week, have applied for my first PAYE job in a while (10 hours a week to supplement my freelance career and provide variety). A friend in a related (mine is very niche) field offered to look over the CV I had adapted for the purpose.
Even she (I am disappointed) made a remark to the effect that I couldn't call the years in question a 'break to provide care for a family member' as the person in question is my child.
Two in one week. I'm speechless.
