The world I previously orbited was as far from corporate as possible. It was closer to a wild west show inhabited by sundry freaks, know-nothings, and action junkies, all subsisting on fossil fuel generated by market mania. That said, it may have served me well, but I served it better. So much better that I ran, not walked, away from most everything it personified as quickly as I could.

The good news is that, as the authority figure before an undergrad class, you have the power to shape minds as broader canvasses, and potentially de-program some of the preconceptions of what “business life” is all about for these po’ sufferin’ chillen.

I have not seen any of the new RL stores. Are they east or west of 6th? I frequent the latter considerably more than the former.
