What do you do?
February 19th, 2010 · General Updates
Ah, the proverbial question that is asked almost automatically when meeting a new person. More often than not, they’re simply asking so they make assumptions about you.
Oh, he’s in finance so he must make good money, be good with numbers and…boring, maybe even a bit nerdy. She’s a sculptor so she must be poor, but interesting and creative. In reality, putting people in clear-cut boxes never seems to work.
My answer, “I’m in IT consulting” draws a combination of blank stares, yawns and incorrect assumptions. I’ve actually had people react by saying something to the effect of, “but you don’t look like you’re in IT”. Right. I’m intentionally vague because I used to be specific, but got tired of explaining my specialization.
Artists and other “creatives” are often the first ones to dismiss my job as boring. Sure, I may not have this guys job, but my work offers several benefits that I’m thankful for (freedom and flexibility being two that immediately come to mind).
Next time someone asks me what I do, I’m going to politely tell them I’m an adult entertainer. End of conversation.

Quick Update
February 19th, 2010 · Fun, General Updates, Travel
As of this week, I’ve been living in Sydney for 6 months, which means I’ve been out of the U.S. for almost 9 months. Incredible how fast that time has gone.
Today was my last full week of work for a little over 3 weeks. Next week I have friends and family visiting, which I’m extremely excited for. Their visit is the catalyst for an incredible whirlwind of travel that looks like this:
Cairns > Port Douglas > Byron Bay > Tweed Heads > Noosa Heads > Rainbow Beach > Fraser Island
Oh, and there is this little event called Mardi Gras starting next week. Then I’m heading to Melbourne Easter weekend.
I get both excited and tired thinking about it. Somehow, I think I’ll live.
