Don't ask me.

stoopbeckDon’t ask me what I’m doing with my life now that I’m out of college. If I knew what I wanted to do with my life, I probably wouldn’t have gone to college in the first place. I would have just gone out and done whatever it was that I was supposed to do. As of right now, I’m still finding my way.
Don’t ask me if writing is a “real job,” and suggest that teaching might be more in my sights. If I’d wanted to teach, I’d be an education major. When I say I'm looking at jobs in writing, don't tell me I won't get anywhere. Don't scoff when I tell you I'm writing a screenplay. It's something that I enjoy, and it's potentially profitable. Let me know the next time you write a 107-page paper.
Don’t ask me when I’m going to get a real job. My current job is in fact real. I get money and everything. Honest.
Don’t tell me that my current job is beneath me, especially not in front of my mother whose job is similar. My mother and I work hard, and enjoy the fact that we get to work outside. Now remove your foot from your mouth and leave us in peace.
Don’t ask me anything more strenuous than “How’s the weather,” or “Did you see last night’s episode of X.” If you do, I might snap. And that might be bad. Because I’ll either cry (which is never ever pretty) or go postal (also not pretty), and you really really don’t want either to happen.
Thank you and goodnight.

Me I'm a big fan of any ep where Julian and Miles have sizeable screen time. I love the section 31 eps because I like whumped Julian, are you sensing a pattern yet? I used to hate "Take me out to the Holosuite" but now I really like it. Um, I'm lazy. To the plain list Batman!
The Seige of AR-558
Far Across the Stars
In the Pale Moonlight
Little Green Men
Nor the Battle to the Strong
Trials and Tribble-ations
Badda Bing Badda Bang
Yeah you get the idea. I like them all. *g*

Aww, now I've got to go look up episode names.
Pretty much all the ones you've listed.
Distant Voices
Past Tense 1 & 2
The Wire (and pretty much any ep with Garak)
The Muse
Doctor Bashir, I Presume
One Little Ship
It's Only A Paper Moon
I'm sure I could think of more were it not 1:37 AM. :D Oh, I'm so excited to be talking to another DS9 fan! *flails*

I used to be able to do it without looking up the titles but I totally had to wiki them. Except for a few which I still knew.
I'm totally off to sleep to have happy fangirly DS9 dreams. *flails with you*

Otherwise it would have been a list of "That One Where The Ship Is All Small And Worf Composes A Poem" or "The One Where Julian Is All James Bondy" or "The One Where Odo and Kira Kiss, Finally, But Not Before Vic Has To Intervene Because He Is Awesome."
Sleep. Sleep is good. Sleep with fangirly DS9 dreams? Even better. :D
