born of a career studying the most utterly tedious and esoteric of biochem research, i’ve tended to merciful responses akin to:
Somewhat notable that most folks regard any of those as unworthy of a follow-up, and quickly move on to describing what amortizing accountancy does.
Yeah, but the “I” is not part of the job description.

This has always driven me crazy. In social situations in LA, people get to the ‘what do you do for a living’ question faster than anywhere else I’ve ever lived. Before, are you married, do you have kids, what are your interests, they ask about how you keep your lights on. It drives me crazy. I usually give a response similar to what someone else noted here. When someone asks me where I work, I usually respond, ‘…from my front porch most days. How about you?’

Yum.
“Sometimes when I’m flying my cubicle, I like to throw non-sequitur slides into rather important slide decks.”

That’s about all I can say
I breathe nearly every day
The Fixx, “I Live”
Hmm - not sure if that is true…
