Yes -- you understand what I meant completely by my original post, its not what I do, its who I do it for that I have a problem with people asking about.

And just to elaborate a little more, I'd like to point out that I tend to see the same people over and over on flights, too, even when I'm headed to different places. If you fly through the same hub on the same airline you're going to keep crossing paths with others who do as well. There are often people who remember me and comment "I always see you in such and such city..." and other creepy things like that (I know they mean to be friendly but it always catches me off guard). I could probably start a whole new thread just about that. But anyway, when I have a conversation with somebody (in front of others who are in earshot in a small space, by the way), I don't really think of it as a one time interaction without future considerations. Its very likely that I'll be flying sometime on a plane with them or the others who can hear and who knows what I'll be doing? I certainly don't want them to think the employees at my company are all slackers if I'm watching a DVD and drinking wine. It feels like if I fess up to my company name, forever after they're going to spot me on the plane, know my company, and check out what I'm up to. I don't necessarily always want to represent my company on the plane, I may want to unwind after a long hard week. Or, better still, I might be on vacation! I have a privacy filter on my screen and I try to mind my own business, but its hard at times.

Thinking of the balance between friendly and nosy, I guess I really just wish people would ask general questions if they're wanting to be friendly and leave the level of detail I provide up to me to decide.
