pre-inventory (and pre-dawn) conversations with Tery

Getting to work waaaaaaay earlier this morning than planned (to make up for being 10 minutes late Tues), Tery and I had some quality time to talk in the car. She asked me about people's jobs creating a sense of self-worth and why she hates inventory because she doesn't see it as being a benefit to society, just that we work to make the company money. She asked if it didn't bother me that our job doesn't help people directly or contribute meaningfully to society. I said, "Every day that I wake up and not go on a killing rampage, that's MY contribution to society."
