What I do

I really hate when people ask what I do for a living.

I never seem to have a pat answer. If I say Health Care IT, no one knows what I am talking about. If I just say I work in IT they seem to think I sit at a computer programing all day long.

The worst part is that is not how I want to be identified. I want to respond that I am a writer and my day job is IT.

Thanks to the day job there has been precious little productive writing lately with a big work event coming up next month but I am still trying to crank out a few lines a day.

Shrugs, it will improve. I know that.
