Ok, yeh this always screws me over, i blame myself for not having a job right now , but hey im workin on it. Its a huge stickin point in a sense that a girl will 99.9 % of the time ask me what i do for a living or where i work or "what do you do".
I cant seem to shake it do i change subject and run routines, neg her becoz of it or tell absoloute lies or tell the truth. i was thinking that i could i say im currently un-employed but thats only becoz im (dhv here) and so on. Feedback woull be great guys thought about this alot dont know which one to go with if any?
Im in a bit of the situation, this is how ive handled it...
She asks...
ME: "I work for the governement..."
her: "doing what?"
Me: "I work from home..."
Her: "well what do you do?"
Me:" Nothing its a really sweet gig!"
Her: "well what kinda job is it?!?!?"
Me: "Well they call it unemployement, i call it amazing."
from here i might banter...if they play along and ask where they can sign up, i tell em to talk to my secritary and setup an interview. Ill reinforce them if they make statements about being lazy and neg them in a jokeing way if they mention anything that references working hard or at all.
Her: "thats perfect, but i wont show up for the interveiw because im lazy..."
Me: "perfect, if you showed we wouldnt hire you, thats the spirit!"
Essentially i bring them into my frame, which is that being paid to stay at home is cool. I later talk about ambitions as a DHV, but you dont want to connect a negative perception of unemployement to that of ambitions, then your just validating to them.
