I don't talk much about work with my wife. Mostly I can, but why would I want to take my work life home. I spend hours talking about work stuff at work. Let's talk about other stuff at home.

Perhaps it's different when your job defines you as a person or your job is your life.

    It’s probably easier when people are interested in the job, or think they know what the job is.

    I have a friend who is an artist, and they started telling people they worked in tech so the conversation would die. 😆
