What do you tell people you do?

Now a days I say i take your info and resell it. I then ask them if they every filled our a survey online or sign up for free newsletters, horror scopes. When they say yes I usually laugh or smirk and they don't usually ask me about it again.
 


just say, "i kill people" very slowly. have a tape recorder in pocket at all times. after you say this have a mysterious look and slowly walk away playing mysterious music. always have an exit route planned
 
I ask if they know what the internet is? Regardless of their response, I just say "Well I do that."
 
Tell them that you are a gay fluffer on a movie set....which is probably pretty accurate for the majority of gay webmasters here.
 
Oh and btw. Don't worry about what other people think. If you're ashamed to tell the truth, go get a real job.
 
I can never win this one. Usually I..

A) Spaz rain man style and go into intricate detail about the job I dearly love. I see their jaw muscles slacken and their eyes deaden and I know I've lost them. All they'll take away is that I am a socially retarded geek and they shouldn't invite me to their dinner parties.

B) Try to be vague. in the interest of getting laid on a regular basis I say things like "I work online" or "I own an online business." This usually leads them to assume I work in the porn industry. Which is admittedly kind of cool. lol
 
It really depends on who it is. Its either marketing or online marketing for local and national companies.

It is worse here in Mexico because they are at least 10 years behind on the whole internet revolution so like my little old Mexican housekeeper thinks I'm addicted to video games . I don't know why that bothers me but it's made me try and explain myself to her several times. She just says "si, si señora" and looks uncomfortable. But she is thinking "How can you get money out of that screen? Lazy american woman just wants to play games all day while I clean her house" lol
 
Tell the ladies that you work on backend systems, keeping things running smooth and banking hard, and then get to work on their backends.

Why are you in Mexico?
 
You say government corruption like it's a bad thing :D

In theory I could drive 100 miles an hour on any given road in Mexico and the cops would take a $10 bill and let me go on my way screeching tires and all. Plus Mexico is where it's at if you want to start a business, not all the red tape like in the states. (I know because I had a business over there) Here I don't pay taxes, I didn't need a building permit, a business permit, blah blah blah I just needed a sign outside and I'm in business. Cheap labor, minimal government interference, great exchange rate... Mexico suits me just fine ;)
