Usually when people ask what it is I do for work I usually say that I work in network administration and security policy or something that's similarly likely to have no one ever desiring to ask questions about it.

Today someone did actually start asking questions. Beautifully the look of regret sweeping across their face within mere moments has me satisfied they'll never ask about work again.

Nailed it.

@babe ok, I'm really curious now what you said to put them off the conversation.
@tithonium @copiesofcopies I'm good at switching into insufferable nerd mode. I think it's less the actual content of my words and more that I seemed very excited to talk about security policies
@babe @copiesofcopies [giggles madly imagining]
