Thanks. I really write these things because it's how I process them in my own head. It's just a bonus when they are useful.

GAH. (That's all I've got but consider it a primal scream of fury from my corner of the world toward yours.)

I do NOT miss my days in county government at all. It got better when we hired a professional, experienced county administrator -- until he quit doing the work a year before he actually quit. Since then the county board, in all its wisdom ::<snark:: has hired from within for the administrator position, with predictable results.
