Najuma made a presentation on Corporate Social Responsibility. I think her and I have different approaches towards the same goal. Perhaps they can supplement each other – who knows? I’m beginning to see the tremendous potential of what I can accomplish.We left early today from class, because the guest instructor had appendicitis (!). Sanjai brought lunch for all of us, and we played a CD Robin made for our cohort. Galen and Sanjai made plans for this coming Saturday, and I just purchased a ticket (from Portland, since I’ll be there the night before) and stay through Monday. I really should just move down here now – this can get expensive. Thank God for frequent flyer miles. They help, if only a little bit.
“So, I was in San Francisco, and I was lost and everytime I asked for directions, people didn’t know where the street was, or they gave me wrong directions. And then a police car pulls over next to me and asks me if I was lost, and I said ‘yes’, and he said where do you need to go, and when I told him, he said that it was too far to walk, and he said he could give me a lift in the squad car.
As we’re riding in the squad car, he says he has to make a stop, and it turns out he’s picking up some trading cards at another precinct. They’re cop trading cards, and all the cops collect them. He goes inside the police station, but before he goes in, he asks me to hold his gun. I was really uncomfortable with that, but I did it anyway. Such a friendly city.”
