08/30 - Tamarind Thursday!

[Romantic Grapefruit]

I have a question for the whole room... How do you explain to people what it is you do? I have the hardest time with it. I get annoyed when people are like "Oh you take surveys" but also it's so hard to be like "I do a lot of diff things all day and sometimes make okayish money doing it. And don't have to wear pants." b/c people are like "what other kinds of things? Why are you qualified to look at surgery videos? How are you qualified to do X, Y, Z?"

I just tell people I work in digital marketing for Amazon, and do freelance work on the side for Google and Pinterest. So much easier than trying to sit there and explain it.

 

[Despairagus]

Thanks everyone! I'm going to cherry pick your answers and formulate my own

I don't feel bad. My kids had to suffer through delicious homemade everything! I have never eaten that kind of stuff and I think it shows after 64 years!

That's honestly incredible

Any further explanation confuses people.

I've found people either get it or they don't - and most people don't - so it isn't worth my time to explain lol.

Short answer: Nothing
Long answer: We just moved up from FL. I take care of my daughter. At some point, I have to go get a job. I have a MSW.

I never say I work online. Sometimes, I talk about jobs I've had in the past.
