Nobody ended up in DC by accident or because they thought it would be cool. The residents of the Washington DC metro area are usually here to accompish a certain goal, and 99% of the time that goal is professional. As a result, work has a funny way of infiltrating every conversation in town. It makes sense; you get quickly to the heart of why someone lives here in the first place. Yet, should people be defined by their positions? It's as if when you cross the Beltway, you check your human identity at the door and become "Lawyer Woman" or "Lobbyist Boy." Personally, I'm going to tell people from now on that I'm a performance artist, and move the conversation to a more fulfilling topic.
Pros: Nobody accuses you of "selling out to the man"
Cons: That's because we all sold out
