After the tsunami, deciding to do "something useful"

<p>"A natural disaster persuaded Margaret Cole, the new top market enforcer in Britain, to drop corporate law after two decades of practice. </p>

<p>“Fleeing the island of Phuket, Thailand, as the Indian Ocean tsunami hit last December, she recalled that she was moved by the ‘complete randomness’ of the disaster. ‘I asked myself, When are you going to do something useful?’ she said in a interview.”</p>

<p>Interesting post. It doesn’t sound to me, though, that she was doing useless work before her new post. I’m sure the pensioners she made whole found the work she was doing to be extremely useful.</p>

<p>True! We could keep her busy over here…;)</p>
