I feel bad for not posting here more often. There is a lot of stupidity out there so sometimes I don't know where to start. This particular rant has to do with the adoption but I figured it was better to post it here than on the adoption blog.

Stupidity=paperwork... or the other way around, I'm not sure. No one in the world has ever been made one iota smarter by doing paperwork. EVAR. In fact, I'm quite convinced that it's exactly the opposite. Everytime I fill out another piece of paper (especially one which I have already filled out at least once before), I feel my IQ go down. No one wakes up in the morning saying "gee, I really hope I get to fill out some paperwork today. That's my favorite thing in the whole wide world!" Yeah, right. Never going to happen. If there is, by some chance, a person out there like that I suggest the following: We gather a group of adoptive parents together, with copies of their homestudies in hand. Then, we all get to beat said person with the homestudy (and believe me, that's a lot of paper). After that we will create a big bonfire using the paperwork, and burn that person at the stake! Am I being too harsh?

Maybe that's why our social worker is the way he is? He's just done too much paperwork. (although I'm betting it's the pot) This guy kills me. Not to mention the fact that he charged us MORE for our homestudy update than he did for K&E's.... AND IT'S THE EXACT SAME THING! Nothing like paying $100 per page (or more in our case). I am in the wrong business. Seems to be our luck lately. And we can't change social workers now, it's too late.... nothing to do but grin and bear it. That doesn't make me feel any better about it.
