    You really don’t go out to pubs, don’t yah?

    Folks go to pubs to relax, merry, reminiscent. The last thing they want to talk about is the 997 they just punched out from. Do you like talking about your job everywhere?

    And why do I have to know you’re Bob from accounting? Are your counting skills going to seize the means of the exploitators?

      I can’t imagine a more common perfunctory part of meeting someone new than asking about their occupation to the point that articles get written encouraging people not to for a variety of reasons. “Lets stop defining people by their occupation” etc etc.
