    What job do you SAY you do?

    We've all been there.

    They say, "so what do you do?"

    I make the mistake of saying "I'm in I.T.".

    They glaze over or hold their breath until they turn blue and pass out.

    So...what do you say instead?

    I've considered Porn Star, F1 driver and Hollywood actor, but I don't think they'll believe me.

          I've found that "Independent business owner" has considerable street cred, even though my operation is about as churchmouse as it gets. In fact I've been thinking about incorporating as "Churchmouse Industries."

                Out of job at the moment. I'll spend next two weeks further applying for jobs. If there's nothing I'll expand on my freelancing.

                Job market really sucks. I've looked through sites of 80 top companies here and they are hardly looking for anyone. A housekeeper here a baker in a supermarket there.
