So today at work my boss asked me to come into work on Saturday. I said I can't, our shelter has it's bigest pet show of the season. He didn't come out and say anything, but it was obvious he felt that it was not a good reason not to be able to work. He has given me this reaction on other plans I have had (some not even related to the cats). Sometimes I feel like my plans & my life outside of work are looked down upon because I'm not married with children. No it is not the life he would live, but I like my life. My volunteer work with the shelter is important to me. I am just wondering if others feel like people look at them like their plans aren't that important because they don't involve a nucular family?
