Infuriating!

I'm running seriously behind on stuff to report, but this little thing that happened today sticks out like a sore thumb. Until I catch up on momentous achievements with Suhaana that happened a couple days ago, here's some angry ranting coming your way.

I got a phone call today from a recruiter. After the initial "Am I speaking to" so-n-so.. He asked me where I'm currently working. I replied I'm currently on maternity leave. To which, he enquired "Really? Since when?". When I said since October, he informed me "Then that should be fine."

I just haven't been able to get it out of my head since this afternoon. Since when does a recruiter decide how long is 'enough' for me to spend with my baby before I'm to be termed as officially 'outdated' in his cookie cutter opinion? It's just infuriating how tactless people can be! And how effortlessly they sprinkle their implied opinions.
