random nuggets in the goldmine of life part 1

Today I met a man at a bus stop. His first words to me were 'You look a bit young to be a spineless corporate bastard.' The man was not hardened and embittered by a lifetime of experience. Rather, he was no older than 25. As it turns out, he was a freelance artist. He was quite flabbergasted and, I think, a little dissapointed to learn that I represented distinguished wines from all over the world, many of which are particularly recognised for their social and environmental commitments, and that I placed social responsibility very high on my list of priorities. Unfortunately, my bus arrived just then and interrupted what was erupting into a positively scintillating conversation.
