Now I know that a job is a job I'm well aware of that but I can't help but be embarrassed about what I do. I'm a 21 year old single male, and I work at an abattoir (slaughterhouse). Arguably not the worst job in the world but it is awkward when I'm talking to women either at a bar or on a date, often they ask me "what do I do" and when I tell them they always seem a little taken back by it, what makes it a little worse for me is that I'm a vegetarian(can be abit of an icebreaker admittedly) Do any of you fellas have the same problem with your work? if you have a funny story regarding the topic please include it, I'd like to hear your thoughts on it.

"So what do you do?"

"I'm a mattress tester."

They usually get the point of I don't want to talk about it or its not important, or a "poking" ensues where we make fun of each other.

Make a game of it "sudden death job". Have something off-the-wall, develop a list and think about them so you can have off-the-wall stories about them.
