Speaking as someone who's told you before that you have a cool job, lemme see if I can get through some of the reasons why.
- It seems like a fun job to me.
- It makes me happy when fun people get fun jobs.
- Especially when I like the person.
- Actually, I admire you a bit, because I don't have the knowledge to do that job. Most of the "cooler" jobs are like that: they take specialized skills. You've got `em, I don't.
I think that's it, mostly. As far as compliments go, I can take them happily or unhappily, but I don't know that I've
ever taken one graciously.
