Re: Skirting the dreaded...



Course, Eric's "oh you're an archivist" still beats my "huh?" and the
quizzical look that accompanies it when I say the magic "I'm an archivist"
phrase.  Imagine (assuming you haven't gotten the same look 10,000 times)
the expression of someone told they've been invited to a round table
discussion of Nietzche's (sp?) philosophy held by a group of Playboy
bunnies.

Unsure whether to jump in wholeheartedly or run screaming in the other
direction.

Hafta admit I'd probably stay, but I'd be listening to something else on the
radio.

PS I always feel those asking what I do look at me with a certain degree of
pity, as if I wasted my chance to be a lawyer/ doctor / accountant on
something frivolous (i.e. low-paying)
