The IT Guy
At a recent meeting of residents in my locality, an innocent looking dude sitting next to me asked where I work. Once I answered, he said “Oh so you are not in IT?” with a quizzical expression. He seemed concerned if he will not be able to talk anything to me over the next hour or so for which the meeting was scheduled.
With a few career moves I have made, I get really confused on what to answer for such questions. For a moment, I thought I should say “I work on the intersection of technology & liberal arts” :-p but I simply said “You are right”.
And the conversation ended there!
