Chinese is complicated #1

My sister's friend came over the other day to format her laptop. I know this guy few years back, so before he left, he ask me 你现在在做什么 (what are you doing now?). I misunderstood him and thought he was wondering what were I doing with my pillow case, but what he meant was what am I working as now.  ><

Normally in English we will just ask "what are you working as now?" right? But Chinese, people normally asked it that way (I think), but I was confused that day! I don't know why. Been very blur lately.

Oh well, is ok I guess. That means more things for me to draw! wee~~~~~
