The Expert

I hope this hasn't been posted (I did try to search), it's an oldie but a goodie.

"Draw seven red lines..." I was reminded of it from another thread where it said to "draw a line around" something.

It's not always salescritters. Sometimes it's managers...or people (in general) who don't understand what you (in general) do.

I have that problem in my family. My mother simply thinks I "work with computers", and therefore I know everything about them, and can fix any and every computer problem.

I write code. I'm a software engineer.

I told my wife I'm half tempted to send a small sample of my work (i.e. a C# file or JavaScript file) to my mother and say "this is what I do..."

My wife said, "You could do that, but she still wouldn't understand..."
