I will not bore you gents with a long novel, just a brief synopsis of events that have led me to be extremely fed up with some of my "friends" and "acquaintances. For the past 2 1/2 years I have been in business for myself. I run a construction related firm, and we are absolutely kicking ass right now despite a dismal economy.
I have been working 'round the clock, six days a week, with very little down time. I have an extremely understanding girlfriend of 4 years, who also works her ass off. On my day off, which is Sundays, I have spent at open houses or doing laundry and tieing up loose ends around my house.
I have a couple of friends who have been relentlessly breaking my stones about not having time and this and that. I try to explain that I'm busy, and that I still value them as friends, but right now I just don't have the time to lollygag around. They take this statement as "You're making so much money..blah...blah..blah..."
Help! How do I explain without coming off as a condescending prick?
