“And what’s your occupation?”

January 16, 2013

I’ve noticed recently that I’ve had to answer this question a fair amount recently – various registration forms for either of my girls, a market researcher I spoke to yesterday at the station and notably when Contented Hubby registered 9MO’s birth.

My life is no longer simple and straight-forward. It isn’t in any way as compartmentalised as it once was.
