Date: 2010-11-09 01:28 pm (UTC)My opinion remains that if you somehow don't want to talk for hours about the subject matter and techniques of your job, no matter whether you're getting paid for it or not, then you're in the wrong job and need to get over the fact that other people find your work interesting.
