Many years ago, someone asked me, "What do you do?" Now that may seem a fairly innocuous question unless you happen to have an illegal occupation, but for some reason it irritated me. It seemed to perpetuate the (at that time) myth that whatever your job, that is how you were portrayed as a person. Of course, people did not often change jobs then, so perhaps it had some validity, but still, it seemed to narrowly define the sum total of a person’s life as it was represented by his job.
