Anyone have a link? (Did I ask this already? I think it got eaten.)
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Oh, also that brings up a point, speaking of class. When people hear that DH works in television we tend to get major staus points...right up until they learn that he works primarily for wrestling. Never mind that they are the best paying and most reliable sports gig for a freelancer. When he does the VMA's or the Grammy's, people get all oooo...even though what he does on those shows is nowhere near as complex or impressive as what he does every week with the WWE. I mean, aside from normal weekly contributions, the guy literally designs the entire damn Wrestlemania show--sets, lights, pyro, screens--which is a feat that would win him an award for another gig. For this one? He gets, "Oh, you work for wrestling. Isn't that nice.. pet pet."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I don't think I would consider my social awareness growing up as class consciousness. There were certainly families that I wanted to avoid because they were tragically tacky/mean/dumb/off-putting, but those distinctions crossed income lines. I think my inner snob developed early and along its own guidelines of what to value.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Dude, I was just looking for an excuse to pet pet...

Whenever I'm out of work and disgruntled about being asked what I do, I usually reply brightly, "I'm unemployed! Thanks for asking."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Aaaaaaaand, I just realized that I took the wrong quiz. I took "Identify This." No wonder my results didn't make any sense!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If I say what I actually DO every day and get a paycheck for, "I'm business manager in a small business." I think it makes me sound like an office person, which I feel I am not. But I fear that's just my horrible inner boho snob talking.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I couldn't make heads or tails of "Identify This". I knew what a Beemer was, but couldn't figure out how to tell the game that.
I mean, the guy literally designs the entire damn Wrestlemania show--sets, lights, pyro, screens--which is a feat that would win him an award for another gig.
I think that the VMAs and Golden Globes need more pyro. That is the magical thing they have been lacking.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Let your inner boho snob run free! When I'm asked the "what do you do" question, I ask them if they mean my career or how I support myself. It either amuses or confuses them.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Kristin, the important people know how hard your DH works and how damn good he is, and that's all that matters.
