This week on Twitter there was a funny exchange about game designers and the reactions they get when people ask what they do.

Guy on airplane: So what do you do?

Me, looking up from the O'Reilly book I'm trying to read: I'm a computer programmer.

Guy: Cool. I could have been a programmer, except for all the science.

True story.

Once many years ago, I was required as a young male Nursing Student by my Instructor to go into Post Delivery rooms with the new Mothers and ask if they needed ME to help them breastfeed their newborns. That was kind of like being a Village Idiot.  :biggrin:
