I think it's not because it's that important, but because it's common ground. Everyone has *something* they do, whether it's work or a job or something similar. It may not be the most defining thing in your life but you're guaranteed to get an answer from just about everyone, so it's an easy way to start a conversation. This came up recently for me, too.

Depending on the person, I might mention one job, both jobs, or both jobs and the stuff on the side. If I want to seem more impressive I always say 'library.' It IS a weird feeling to define yourself that way. Whenever I get asked this question I have so many different answers I could give.
