[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have someone in our workplace who was a SAHM for 10 years before joining us.

She answers the phones and makes copies. She's been with us for two years and I don't really see her career going any further unless she makes a real effort to catch up with technology. She can barely use Outlook.  Would have being in the workforce for the past decade made her smarter? Maybe not, but at least she'd be more experienced.

In short, if you stay at home for a long time, you're going to have to go out of your way to get current. And that will take more than a week or two. [b] Make sure you bake that into your plans.[/b] [/quote]

Wow, you're a real charmer, aren't you?  I feel sorry for the woman you described, but only because she has to work around people like you.  I'm sure you drip with condescension every time you deign to speak to her.[/quote]

Hah! The "bake" was really not meant as a jab at SAHMs. I love to bake.  How about "make sure you include that in your plans".

I probably do drip with condescension, but it's only because she can't remember from week to week that Excel has tabs and that different  tabs can have different stuff in them. [/quote]

Bitch, I can out-Excel you any day. LOL.

Seriously - you're talking about MS Office products as if they are difficult to use?!    :lol:

Huh? I agree that Excel isn't difficult to use at all, which is why this admin annoys me with her complete inability to use it for the simplest things. Where did your Excel skill vs mine come into it?

And now you're upset and calling me a bitch... why?

Very odd. [/quote]

Ha ha - my bad! ILs are pouring stiff drinks and I just skimmed. Thought you were making a generic statement that SAHMs didn't know about excel tabs. You've never heard the "bitch" reference before. Very odd.

Anyway, I'll refrain from further posting until I'm sober. :D
