New Acquaintance 1: So what do you do for a living?
New Acquaintance 2: I work for a charity. We help people with disabilities get back into work.
*cue half-hour long monologue about how horrendously difficult but terribly rewarding her job is*
NA2: What do you do?
NA1: I'm an Occupational Therapist in a hospital. I deal mostly with terminally ill patients and those with addictions.
NA2: Wow, that must be so tough.
NA1: Well yes but it's worth it, you know? Seeing the changes in people as you get to know them better. And what do you do?
Me: I do admin....in a call centre.
NA1: Oh. Right.
*awkward silence*
