And no, “freelance writer” doesn’t count. I’m talking about the job that provides my health care, not the one that nourishes my spirit.
The rules are simple. Basically we’re playing 20 Questions. I will answer any yes or no query related to the topic at hand, and we’ll see who’s first to figure out what I do to put beans on the table. One exception: I’d rather not discuss pay, except to say up front that it’s less than $50 K.
Anybody want to play?

Do you spend much of your day in one place (i.e., a desk)?
Do you work in the private sector?

Um…do you know what a “question” is? Or is that your guess?

Do you primarily work with numbers in your job duties?
Is your job creative (i.e. art or advertising)?
Does your job primarily entail meeting the needs of clients?
