Nope. Never had, but I will say that is probably because a lot of work here is classified. Plus, my dates usually work in completely different industries than I do, so a banking tech guy and an artist don't have much to connect on workwise.

A lot of people didnt get to "choose" their careers. Yeah we chose paths of study but a lot of recent college grads had to take what we were offered because we couldn't get what we wanted. Trust, I would have chosen a lot of other jobs if it were in my control back at age 18-22. Hell, probably would have done the military instead of college and be halfway to a pension now.
Everyone thinks my job is exciting and fascinating. But it's really boring and often depressing.
Not like the TV shows?

Maybe it’s something guys usually initiate then. I ended up dating a lot of government guys, military contractors, and such. They all gave me their cards (like I said, including my boyfriend). I was just curious.
Well if she were having sex in the supply closets she wouldn't be so bored!
