what's up with that?

What is up with people asking me how I am and then not answering me when I ask the same question? Isn't it supposed to go, "How are you?" "Good. How are you?" "I'm fine, thanks for asking." Instead no one answers my "Good. How are you?" question. I've let it go, but it's annoying.

I think I met the office Asian fetishist yesterday. I wonder if there's just no escaping the Asian fetishists; they're fucking everywhere.

I finished reading the How to Change the World book, and loaned it to a co-worker. It just ended up making me feel really guilty, because I feel like I should put some effort into getting back into non-profit work. I loved doing that kind of work, but it's not exactly fun, and there are lots of frustrations and walls you hit. The book doesn't focus on non-profits; instead it focuses on a lot of individuals who were able to get Things Done, and who had vision, and drive beyond the initial stages of their projects. For example, the Grameen Bank project, in which poor people were given low-interest micro-loans to start their own business These "social entrepreneurs" have two basic things - an ethical interest in the improvement of society, and a business-like approach to seeing it through. The book argues that these individuals, even though they're not well-known, have fundamentally changed society for the better.

I'm still thinking about that.
