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 work in an office environment, that is, your primary location and responsibilities are located indoors and related to the operations of a business?
Yes.
are you a knowledge worker?
You’ll have to define this term, please. I have a definition but it may not fit yours.
IT, Consulting or management.
Do you have a degree and it it directly related to your job?
Do you spend much of your day in one place (i.e., a desk)?
Do you work in the private sector?
If the answer isn’t Evil Overlord or something to that effect, then my image of our beloved Skald is forever shattered.
No.
Yes.
Oui.
Non.
Yes.
That is not a question. Also, if I were Evil Overlord, Campbell Brown would be hosting the Today Show naked (and conducting interviews while jumping rope), while you would be employed in beating Ben Affleck with his own Oscar.
Insurance.

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

Sorry, I consider myself properly chastised. Although beating Ben sounds intriguing…
Back to the subject at hand, do you work directly with the public?
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?
You must define “directly” and rephrase your question.
Nein.
Nyet.
Si.
Do your responsibilities primarily involve contact with outside customers/clients either by face to face contact or via telephone?
