This is a moan
The tsunami disaster ... I feel compelled to moan about corporate responses to said disaster. Okay, maybe not their literal response, more a feeling of defiant uncomfortableness with any prescriptive, corporate - possibly mawkish - dictat to stay silent for 3 minutes in collective grief-sharing and reflection. I don't want to be told when to grieve, to have it parceled up with others in my office.. I didn't keep quiet, I clicked my keyboard in the process of donating again to Oxfam.. not a 'look at me, I'm donating' stance but a reaction to staged shows of reflection.
