What does this say about the world?
What does it say about the world when my new boss comes over to my desk in the morning just to say hello and ask what's new...and thats it. It's not a pre-cursor to him giving me work or just because we're in the elevator at the same time, he passes my desk on his way from getting coffee and stops by to say hello. Granted, he's a pretty young attorney- and probably a newly wed (his wife calls the office...for all the attorneys for whom I answer the phone, I've never spoken to another's spouse)
It's sad because we shouldn't expect the people we work for to only talk to us when absolutely necessary. I know this won't last long and in a few weeks he'll be too busy to do that. So it's nice while it lasts.

It is tough to know what it says about the world really. Often there are what I call false statements of senserity. For example when someone asks how it is going and they expect and ok or fine. But if you go man things are fucking shitty both here and at home what one would you like to here first, then they don't know what to do. Buying things at the store isn't the only place this happens it goes on at work all the time. But if this is a person who doesn't do that and really does care maybe he reads blogs. I think reading about others live on line may cut down on that some. Reading about what other people do makes you care more about peoples lives outside of work or at least that is my theory. Maybe it is that he likes to know his employees and understands that they are people not someone you boss around. If you and your boss get along and like or at least respect each other it makes things much more pleasant and work much better then it being just two people where one tells the other what to do and they do it no questions asked or where you don't feel comfortable asking for clairifaction.
