Yes, I am male, and I cringe when someone says, "So . . . what do you do?"
(Well, right now, I am talking to you. That is what I am doing.)
So I usually say, "I do a lot of things. If you are asking how much money I make, I don't care to compare financial penises with you. Just know that I have done far better than I ever hoped."
Ps--in France, and I suspect, in other European countries, this is considered very rude to ask, "And so . . . what do you do?" ("Comment gagnez-vous votre vie?")
A lot of us are feeling goopy right now. The fish-tank we live in has cloudy water since no one has changed it lately.
The old alcohol abuse pun. So tired it is.
I reread the one paragraph three times and I can’t stop laughing, it just struck me as funny. I’m not sure if $30000 is enough money to get to turn 40 sooner. You might be throwing those dollars away.
I went "goopy", vague anticipation of becoming a butterfly. One of the adventures (or life-changing retreats as they were called) even used a butterfly as its principal metaphor for change.
Alcohol dismissed along with some other coping-killers and hey presto! I emerged a moth!
I have cut down on alcohol a lot. But, and I am speaking very honestly here . . . grandkids staying at your house for two days or so make a good glass (or two) of wine very appealing.

I hate it. Always have hated that question. Ugh

LOL! "I emerged a moth!" ❤️

I’m kinda in the same goopy stage. Lack of interest in anything. I’ve talked to a couple of friends also feeling this way. Love ya Andee.
Love you too! I'll send you a text I have some thoughts to share 💛
