[quote=FlyerInHi]I prefer independently wealthy over a successful career.
I’d rather people didn’t talk about their jobs. Pretty dull actually. There are so many other interesting topics to discuss.
I have a successful male friend who never talks about his job. I’ve learned to admire and appreciate that. It’s hard for men not to relate everything to their jobs.
Women who talk about their jobs are irritating.[/quote]
At this point in my life I find work is a nice safe topic to chat with male strangers about. The weather is even more dull, most extended discussions about sports bore me, and a lot of men aren’t very good at talking about their kids. Politics is a ticking time bomb; I’d rather not know what stupid political views a person holds.
I certainly admire people that have interesting things to talk about besides work. Movies and television are fairly safe, although “I haven’t caught up on that yet!” is a fairly common refrain these days.
