Conversation With A Stranger

“So, what do you do for a living?”

“I’m the Art Director for (Name of Company).”

Blank stare.

“I make phone books for a living.”

“OH MY GOD! I HATE phone books. The paper makes my hands feel icky. So dry. Who uses those anymore anyway? I just call information.”

I can only hope one of my side businesses takes off, otherwise I might be out of a job soon.

    Oh, the baby boomers and their early offspring should keep you in the pulpy business for at least another 20 years or so….

    And the hoarders! They wouldn’t have furniture if it weren’t for the yellow books, right?

    See! There you go! Job security. Just what you wanted - RIGHT???

    I never realized it til now, I haven’t used a phone book in forever. I call information or look it up on the web. Yikes. Sorry.
