    LoL no. It’s definitely an Anglo thing. I had a Spanish friend that I’ve played music with for years and I didn’t know what he did until last night. I wish we weren’t so focused on thinking that our way of life must be so perfect. Work sucks, sitting in traffic sucks, yet we spend almost all of our waking life doing just that.

      You’ve known a guy for years and never bothered to ask what his day job is?

        Yes our interests are outside of work. I also don’t ask where he vacations, what kind of bed he sleeps on, or where he fills up his car with gas, though I’m sure he spends some of his life doing those as well. His job is not his personality and neither is mine.

          Yeah,… With people who aren’t coworkers we still fall into, “looking forward to the long weekend”, “crazy dude was at work today”, and work-related stuff like that.
