Before I get into my post, I would like to say, no news yet on the insurance situation. When I know more I will write an update.
So, what do you do? It's an age old question we ask others and get asked ourselves. This question is usually the ice breaker into any small talk conversation with a stranger. It always seems to be the safest question to ask someone when first meeting them. Asking someone their profession, or what do they do in their life seems to be society's way of defining each other.
Since graduating college, I have been able to answer this question without having to tell much of a back story. "Oh, I work in non-profit." Or, most recently, "I'm a part-time nanny." These answers seem to always suffice. The stranger is usually satisfied with my answer, and we move on from there.
