So a bit of a strange question, but how many of you lead double lives?
The question came to mind as I was driving back from work - I was going to meet up with some acquaintances who, to put it mildly, are of "dubious" character. One guy is a practicing lawyer during the day, and a fairly large scale drug dealer on the side. Another is a chemist for a pharmaceutical company, that concocts all sorts of illicit substances in his home lab.
All super nice guys - family men with white collar jobs. However, they are into some serious shit (and I'm reasonably sure their significant others have no idea what they are up to)
We got to know each other over a common interest in bodybuilding and the gym scene. While I wouldn't necessarily go as far to say that I lead a double life, there is a massive disconnect between my professional and personal live(s).
I think like most people, I have different "versions" of myself. Who I am at work certainly isn't who I am with my family (or my friends). Even within my social network, I have a group of people that I go to the symphony and opera with , and another group where we are about as crass and boorish as can be. These facets of my life rarely intersect, so I think each group would be shocked to see the "other" me.
So Mayberry, anybody leading a double life? If so, do the people in your life know about it?
