For the first thirteen years of my telecommuting tenure, I was fairly isolated from others like myself. My friends either fell into one of two categories: moms who worked outside the home or stay-at-home moms. I very rarely disclosed my teleworking situation as very few back then could relate. If I said that I worked from home. most assumed I was glorifying my status as a *domestic engineer*. Attempting to explain that I really did work from home was futile so it was easier just to let them think that I was a SAHM.Isolation and loneliness pervaded all those years. I yearned to meet other teleworkers and hopefully, forge some friendships. Imagine my glee when I *discovered* the Internet and began publishing a daily WAH ezine! I wasn’t alone- there were thousands of home-based workers and business owners at the click of a mouse. At long last, I had found my *own kind*…or so I thought.
I discovered some startling facts. It seems that the majority of WAHMs are *June Cleavers* in cyberspace.
