This is why my business card simply says "Problem Solver" as a job description. People get an initial kick out of it being unusual, but then open up a conversation by asking, "So what does that mean?" Then I must explain the array of work I've done and the interests I have, and how there's a common thread of core skills within my versatility that make me a good fit for lots of different things.

How terrifying is it that we have a culture that determines that the proper response to a woman talking about wanting to be welcome/equal in a community is to threaten to kill her?
