I Am Not A Bouncer At Any Other Establishment Either

I do not hold the necessary security accreditation for the role of Door Supervisor. I do not work here, or at any other licensed establishments.

I Was Not Previously A Bouncer

There is no career change going on here. Nor am I undergoing a training process where I work as a bouncer on the weekends while I study to become a programmer.

I Am Not Allowed To Decide If You Can Come In

It is not my intention to speak in riddles. I am not an enigmatic door guardian.

If I say something like "I can't tell whether or not you are allowed to come in here", there is a good reason for it.

And that reason is because I am not the bouncer.

If You Are Not The Bouncer, Why Are You Here?

Why are you here?

The Transoccupational Experience

I have been wondering if something deeper is going on. I am so regularly mistaken for door security, and in situations where I am nowhere near the door of a venue, that I have adopted a word to explain my situation: transoccupational.

Members of the public project an occupational identity upon me, and when this happens it is very difficult to persuade them that they are mistaken.

This is the transoccupational experience.
