No so growing-pains

Today a visit to the social services office took every bit of my energy from barging through the doors to refine the process.

When we entered, we were #5 in line and there were 2 windows serving the awaiting crowd. As I sat waiting for our turn for 2 hours, I was appalled to see the sorry state of affairs. The employees were busy chattering, drinking coffee and surfing their phone instead of serving the long line of new moms with wailing infants, aged citizens barely managing to walk and distraught workers who were losing precious pay for every extended minute! Our state has been subject to significant budget cuts and there have been roaring voices over the lack of resources to help social services, well, if I were to tape today's incidents and replay it the Governor, maybe he will see that incapacitated and lazy fools are sitting on desks instead of ornate well accomplished individuals who can serve the citizens and raise the overall benefit of the state and increase much needed production. For the kind of service rendered today, I'd say, its easier to outsource the entire unit for a much faster turnaround instead of painfully waiting in line for a person to take your papers, stamp a seal and wave good bye.
