The ham kept going on about it's husband's amazing job at some soulless bank. I responded that sure he makes a lot of cash but he has to work his ass off, were a suit all day, deal with bullshit corporate politics, etc. In contrast I work from home when I feel like it, dress like a slacker, and still pull in enough to be more than comfortable. I said this only to provide a counterpoint, but it was more than enough for it to ask "So you think you're better because of that?" I said no, I also work in finance so we are both sell outs, just at different thresholds. I even mentioned how I am trying to transition to biotech. But it was beyond reasoning, as all lards are, and began rushing it's hot friend home soon after.
