My friend Lucy and I have this little routine where we pretend we have no idea what the other does for a living. Actually, now that I type that, I see it’s not so much “pretending” as “we actually do not really understand what the other does for a living.” This started back in grad school, where she would sum up my studies as: “I dunno…something with business. And, um computers, too” and I would sum her studies as “Um, international…stuff.”

Lucy now works at the State Department and works on something related to… drug trafficking? Or the stopping of said drug trafficking? It’s possible there is child slavery stuff in there too. She’s told me a lot, and frankly it sounds super bad ass, but I can never remember the specifics.

As for me, I work with corporate client satisfaction programs and linking customer feedback to overarching corporate strategies which, I know, it sounds very Blah Blah Blah Ginger to everyone hearing me talk about it, and probably to Lucy as well, but it’s pretty cool if you’re into that kind of thing.

Anyway, that is all lead up for the following conversation between Lucy and I:

Me:  How goes saving the world?

Lucy: Oh, you know…slowly.  How goes satisfying it?

Heee. Satisfying the world is also going slowly, Lucy, but thanks for asking.  Heeee.
