Okay guys, here's a tip - when you're in a conversation for the first  time with a girl, refrain from any out cries for "ask me what I do."

In the off chance that you have a great job, don't let her know it.  Here's an example from a conversation I couldn't help but over hear at the post office:

Scene: Man and woman standing in line at the post office comparing PALM pilot features...

First off, you're both idiots...my dad is bigger than your dad...THEN he pulls out, "Oh mine keeps track of international time zones...because I travel so much...around the world."

Okay what? If ever there was a cry for, Go ahead, ask me what I do... that was it. There is just no need for bait. Being the older woman she was, she saw right through him and didn't ask... until he said it again..."Oh, I'm in computers."

That's it? Dude, if you're gonna be painful at least tell her you're Art Vandelay or something...I'm in computers? That's about as exciting as this story.
