I think your girl was just stressing because of the holiday.

However, I do think it's common, no matter what your job. People who don't do 'your job' don't know what it takes to 'do your job'.

Especially net. The web is our office and it's open 24 hours a day. We don't close for holidays. Ecommerce is all day everyday. So.. when you are away from work, you could be making money. If you are just clocking in on salary, of course it's no biggie if you 'blow it off'.

I'm lucky as my other half works with me. We don't have that issue exactly but we do suffer from the "can't you come and fix my pc" constantly. I know that's not the same, but it falls in the lack of understanding of the worth of the skills that we have or even the worth what we do.

I'm afraid I'd be single if I didn't have someone who didn't get what I do and how I need to work. I feel for you.
