I didn't know we could do that

I'm postponing the research entry, because yesterday was a really crappy day that began with an intractably stupid intern that literally needed 5 minutes
of explanations, 2 tries, and nearly an hour to make a simple "fax us this" phonecall, ended with my dropping a client who has become far more
trouble than he's worth, and in the middle… something really wonderful happened.
It was a volunteer recognition dinner supported by several of the non-profits I've worked with over the years. My attendance was purely political, and I
certainly wasn't expecting to enjoy myself. When they started recognizing the volunteers, I was listening to an adult literacy tutor who has two students.
This guy volunteers over 300 hours in the course of a year and he's not alone. He and others like him are working one-on-one to make someone's life
better. One individual person. No fanfare, no applause. Just one person helping another.
The reason I love Sorkin isn't...
