ON OCCUPATION

My sister and I went shopping one time and she met an old friend who was also looking at the same line of clothes that we were looking into in one of the boutiques at LKK Center. Of course, she introduced her to me and me to her. Then they started talking about some things in the past, present and some future plans. Then, all of a sudden, her friend asked her what my occupation is and my sister could not quite figure about what I do, lol.. Anyway, she told her that I do tutorials under our Tutorial center as well as online stuff.. It took her quite a while to fully explain my occupation, yet her friend's reaction was still unconcerned with a hint of doubt, lol.. So anyway, I told her three things that I do to keep it short yet understood.

I said:

• I am a Teacher by profession, but I do teach part time only.At Honeysweet Learning Center and at Bukidnon State University.
  
• I am a full time blogger and online netrepreneur. My bread and butter is in the web..
  
• I am a solo parent/mother who organizes events for women empowerment.
  

Her response was, ohhh.. And she smiled... I smiled too. End of story yet her eyes told me she wants to know more.. I went to the next boutique and told my sister I will wait for her there.. Bade her friend adieu and we parted from that scene.

So what's the fuss about people's occupations? Nothing really, but when someone wants to know, they better ask the person concerned and not someone else for better understanding.. I was not annoyed or anything rather, I was quite amused. Because no matter how much my sister explained it, her friend couldn't quite get what she meant..
