I spend my days in an office doing real work.

There seems to be an implication among the locals that working in an office, is not "real work" because someone somewhere, randomly decided that there's some arbitrary specification for what real work is.

Me and "OhIsee.Then", happen to disagree completely with this rather mindless notion. While there are some clearly obvious examples of cushy office jobs (for a very brief time as a contract service employee, between contracts, I was told to answer the phone.... when the secretary was busy or at lunch. Most boring couple of weeks I had), most office jobs such as an engineer like OhIsee.Then, are not easy at all, and require lots of hard work.

The idea that one job is 'real work' and another is 'not real' simply because one focuses more on physical movement, and the other focuses on mental ability, does not mean it is not a 'real work'.

In fact, I would even suggest that all jobs, are 'real work'. Some require more, and others less, some physical, some mental, some repetitive, some dynamic. But they are all 'real work'.

Regardless, we were not picking on you specifically. You just happen to chime in at the wrong time. It was Lord Tammerlain who was being snooty and arrogant.


Actually I would say it was Johnny Rebson who was being snooty, calling american factory workers lazy and overpaid, then stating that office work is real work ( which I took to mean that factory work is not real work)

Truth be told I have the same opinion regarding work as you do,
 
Even if China/Indonesia/Mexico'ese workers magically started earning 1st world wages tomorrow, the globalists still would have only accomplished this feat by destroying the economic prospects of an entire generation of Americans, putting the US into deep debt, and destroying valuable manufacturing market share.
