ASS umptions ASS umptions Ass umptions...

I hate that people make automatic assumptions about people based on what labels they also apply to people. I get sooo tired of being defined by other peoples assumptions about me, and what they think those assumptions mean about me.... Part of my job is to sort through clients mail and make sure correspondence is appropriate (which the parents were explained, yet I read through a letter today in which a parent made a blatent and ignorant ASS Umption about me based on our initial meeting!!!) I guess she will probably feel like a real ASS when she realizes that I read that.. but it still doesn't lessen the irritation about the whole situation!
