What Do You Do?

August 29th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Robotics

What do you tell people when they ask what you do?  I’ve most recently answered that I am a Web Developer.  For some strange reason this leads them to ask: “Hey, can you fix my email?”  I usually just answer with “um, no.” and change the subject.

I’ve got a couple of easier answers these days.  I’ll occasionally tell them I’m a blogger, but that gets strange looks, and or the above mentioned email question.  The most recent and certainly my favorite answer now is that I build robots.  While that isn’t really my job, I do get to build robots, and I have access to our lab after work and on weekends so it isn’t a lie.  So far only one person has asked me to fix their robot.
