Every few months, someone in my circle of family and friends poses this question, “Soooo…. what exactly do you do?” This is usually how the resulting conversation goes:

Me: Do you know what Media Buying is?

Grandpa: No

Me: Uh, ok, do you know those ads you see on websites?

Grandpa: Uh, not really

Me: Ummm, ok. Do you know what MySpace is?

Grandpa: You mean that site for pedophiles?

Me: Uh, never mind. You know our website?

Grandpa: Oh! So you made that? Isn’t that a one time thing?

Me: Well, not really.

Me: Ok, you know those emails you get?

Grandpa: YES! You make those? Is that all you do?

Me: SIGH, actually, I have NO IDEA what I do. I just go to meetings and am really, really busy all day, every day.

Grandpa: Ahhh okay. Well, I’m really proud of you for whatever you do.
