He'll keep at it just to keep you talking. <br /><br />I'm rarely asked what I do these days, partly because I don't go to bars anymore, but mostly because I'm an old fart, and nobody cares what old farts do for a living. <br /><br />But on those rare occasions when I'm questioned, I tell the truth -- and people rarely pursue the suybject once they hear what I really do is lift heavy objects all day long.Michael Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569781786039595929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578728360904637566.post-39172371402939073732011-03-27T19:57:04.374-07:002011-03-27T19:57:04.374-07:00The Grip Works - That may be usable sometime down ...The Grip Works - That may be usable sometime down the line, but based on all the apprenticeships and whatnot you need to go through to get certified here, my current age may give away the fact that I'm not who I may claim to be.<br /><br />Nathan - haha.

What would you tell them?<br /><br />Niall - Sometimes when I give that answer, they leave it as is. But most of the time, I get asked, "What's that?" followed by a, "Oh cool. Have you worked with anyone famous?"<br /><br />Anon - Does that really work??A.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06280771470428710391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2578728360904637566.post-55938519920940644052011-03-27T10:15:17.340-07:002011-03-27T10:15:17.340-07:00If I'm not in the mood to chat, I'll just ...If I'm not in the mood to chat, I'll just say that I am studying to be a funeral director.
