I am a gadabout. I am a gadabout and I am paid very well for it. People still whisper about me behind my back, when they don't think I cannot hear them, as if I had some terrible disease. I feel no personal shame in what I do. It's not who I am, it's what I do for a living. I got started after I graduated college. I wasn't overly social then, but I got around enough to have a good feel for social vibes. I had heard of gadabouts. A few people would pass around numbers of one they had used to find a really hip hang out, or maybe they were going to host a party and wanted some advertisement. After graduation I was disenchanted with the line of jobs I was getting, and that is when I applied at the Agency.

The Agency caters to people with recherché tastes, you know the kind, the ones with their noses in the air, always looking for the next bizarre and rare thing they can champion. Weird folk, but they pay well, they pay very well. My first few jobs were harder than I thought, and I almost didn't make it. I spent my early days at the usual hang outs, finding things that amused me and places where the social vibe was high. I would report them to the Agency, but they were not quite right for their clients; they said they were too jejune, not interesting enough, not enough vibe for the kind of people we catered to. Then, as if by magic, I found IT.

I was attempting to change tactics, and instead of walking around the city, I rented a car, one of those antique personal transportation devices, and went for a drive through and around the city. I was instantly hooked! I immediately called the Agency and told them about this forgotten past-time and they loved it. We have sold people on more driving tours and races than any other gadabout service.

Of course now that it is gaining in popularity our clients are shunning at as not being recherché enough, so I'm off to find something new and fresh, but still quaint, odd, and unusual.

I'm not ashamed of what I do, selling social services to other people. It's what I do, not who I am. In fact, for fun, I like to read a book, take a hot bath, and have my husband entertain me with something my clients would say is positively jejune.
