I don't know if this has ever really happened to you, but imagine that you're at a function where you're speaking to someone with no comprehension of classical music apart from "that ringtone that goes dun dun dun dun daaaa". When that person asks what you do, how do you explain it?
Bonus question: how do you explain it when you want to get them excited or share the intricacies of your job?
Bonus bonus: what is the really nerdy detailed thing that you're excited about that you wish people would ask about?
