I met a man today with fingernails filed to sharp points. He informed me that he was illiterit (though I do not think that he realised just how what he had hoped was a very sofisticated and convoluted statement was interpreted by myself), and then proceded to question me on standered procedures. His eventual conclusion was that I, as an extension of my peers, worked entirely on a priciple of self serving bias, rather than customer service. Inside, I burst out laughing (Dave will get this). After getting my mind back in order, I corected him, telling him that it really dousn't matter wether or not any of my clients learn anything from my visits or not - I get the same amount of work out of a day regardless. I'm sure he smiled knowingly and checked off another point for the greedy human animal on the little clipboard in his head. I got a good laugh out of it.

So what have we learned today?

a) Be humble. You don't know everything, and no mater how conveniant an excuse SSB might seem, not everything is directly related to it.

and, b) You are a philosophy student. Stop trying to act like a psycologist at a cocktail party.
