We Are What We Do (Aren't We?)

 If you happen to meet Adam Davis, ask him what he does for a living. 

He'd probably get a chuckle out of it.  Davis is the Executive Director of Oregon Humanities--you know, "O. Hm."--and he leads the Conversation Project offering called "What Do You Do?"

It's a VERY common question upon meeting fellow Americans; small wonder, since we work longer hours than people in many other developed countries.  We explore the reasons for that, the reason for asking the question, and frequent responses as Adam Davis visits The Exchange.
