Was on vacation a few weeks ago and ended up in a small group with some strangers. Sparked up conversation and mentioned where I live, they knew the area. One of the men asked “what do you do?” I started listing off my hobbies and interests, he looks at me like I'm an idiot and sort of condescendingly restates “No, what do you do for work?” I do my best to have my brain not be at work when I'm not working. I'm not my job, my job is just a small part of me.
