Grrr.

Argh. I was just on the phone with a former web design client, who has recently gone into the real estate business and wanted to ask me if I knew anyone who was in the market to buy or sell their house. Anyway, in the past we'd spent time talking (because I was also tutoring her on basic web design) and she knows about my writing, etc.

So today she asks me how the writing is going, and I tell her that I recently had a magazine article published, as well as getting third place in a YA short story contest, and she said, "Oh, that's so great. I'm so relieved for you." I know she meant well...but still.
