Somehow, my boss has an impression that I am a detailed oriented person that can track changes being made to templates on the fly and whether those changes are ad hoc, or should be global. I am not that person. And going back and realizing you've judge one dept. on one standard, and meanwhile changed the standard for another dept. is crazymaking.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've been reading about the Nebraska law and the consequences. It occurs to me that the people who are dropping off their older kids are parents who care, but can't cope. A story in Sunday's paper mentioned one mother who brought her kid, all his medications (which implies some significant problems), and stayed to make sure he was comfortable and would be taken care of.
What's scary are the people who don't care enough to make any kind of effort, even of leaving their kids someplace they'll be taken care of.
And, in NJ when I was growing up, girls who were handed over the the state (PINS - persons in need of supervision) were dumped into the state mental asylum.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Matt, I'm so sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, and don't think I didn't see what you did there, mister!
I'm trying to save you from a fate worse than Brezhnev!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So sorry to hear, Matt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm so sorry, Matt.
