The People I Meet

Sometimes in my line-o-work, I meet people who really, reeeally believe they are REALLY good people. Because they Give Back to their community. It looks something like this (there is kind of a spoiler alert for Dr Horrible's Sing-a-long blog, so if you have it in your Netflix queue, I'm warning you now... and if you don't have it in your queue, I might disown you):

Except I've never seen anyone break out into song. That is to say, I haven't seen any of the volunteers break out into song. The staff, yes. But that's another story. Also I like to think that most of the volunteers I work with are just doing the best they can, and not just loving themselves the way Captain Hammer loves himself. And hey, even self-adoration could accidentally result in learning to be socially responsible and open their eyes to some reality. I choose to be all optimistic like that.
