John and all,

On that same note, when we were in Nashville for the ARMA conference
back in the mid 90s, a friend of mine and I were in a store and a sales
clerk asked what we were doing there.  My friend said we were there for
a Records Management Conference.  The sales clerk asked how many were in
attendance.  My friend answered by saying around 2000.  The sales clerk
then said, "I didn't know there were that many record labels".  We then
had to explain what records management was.

I went to a party some years ago and when asked what I did for a living,
I replied that I was a Records Manager.  The individual then asked me
about some record (music) she has been trying to find, but was having a
hard time locating it.  Let us just say I wasn't impressed but we did
have a good chuckle!

p.s. she still didn't understand what my job was all about, even after I
explained it (I could tell by the look on her face ha ha).  In the end I
just looked at her and said, "yes I file for a living"!  I figure it
wasn't worth explaining any longer!
