I think this happens in most industries . The fact is , most people aren ' t actually that interested in what you do beyond how it relates to them . I ' m sure we all do it to others too , next time someone tells you what they do , check out if your immediate reaction is to tell them some story about how you have been exposed to that job in the past . I ' m a lawyerI hope you ' re better than the one I had to hire one once he totally ripped me off blah blah blah . Seems like you don ' t let it affect you I stopped giving a toss ages ago . I let them tell their cool story , nod and smile , and then move the conversation on . <| sep |> Ignorant Canadian here , has the vote ever flipped after november in the past ? <| sep |> Looks like the Wii .
