The "What do you do" conversation

"What do you do at work?" they ask.

"Computer stuff," I say. [Do you really want to know?]

"What sort of stuff?" they persist.

"Well, it varies." Pause. [You can still get out alive if you leave now. No? Well I warned you.] "My current role is varied. I get to do programming, QA, spec writing, BA, ad-hoc reports, play with being DBA, and generally random stuff.

"But I really want to be a rock and roll star."
