There's a lot of schmoozing and wanking at mine, but I tend to not have business cards (this is partly a function of being broke when I think about getting them, and partly a function of I-do-not-need-to-talk-to-that-person-again, though I regret not having them when I do run into someone I want to continue the conversation with, though in that case there's old-fashioned pen and paper) and tailor my answers to "so what do you do" in the direction of the actual thing I'd like to talk about. Relatively few people are interested in the views of a temp who does office work; quite a few people are interested in the views of a person who volunteers design (and random thankless tasks) for one of the few majority-female open source projects.
