(I'm sure you have a county like this near you - years ago it was all farmland but now it's cookie cutter developments of planned communities where all the newly marrieds go to have babies and push them around in strollers and go to the multiplex for a big night out) We have several of those all over Houston. They call them "master-planned communities" and they have just about everything built within its hallowed little walls. You basically never have to leave. It's kind of scary. Compound-like.
Yeah, that sounds about like where I'm at now, and the climate here has everything to do with The Troll. As DA, she controls just about everything, and because she keeps costs down, the department head lets her go around as if this place was her little dictatorship. It's a joke.
And I was planning on staying here until I move later this year, but I think, for the sake of my sanity, I'm going to start looking for another position within the institution. There’s an editing position in OPR that looks promising.
