The most surprising part of working life is finding out how different I am compared to other youngsters roughly my age. We look at homelessness, we look at money, and we especially look at Colonial Williamsburg, Tony Danza, and cats calendars through very different lenses.
This is from a few weeks back, when I was talking with another research assistant about our college days and favorite classes...
Moi: ... and you know, all the classes on the 'sexy topics' (a phrase I am borrowing from the Band Man, who once used those words to describe the types of his classes that were popular) in sociology.
Lil: Like what?
Moi: Oh, you know, poverty, globalization, environmental racism, stuff like that... idealistic stuff about social justice.
Lil: OK, we have very different ideas of what is sexy.
