At a loss for a title

Alan and i went to see "Taken" this afternoon. It was... well, if you can suspend disbelief, it didn't totally suck.

Anyway, about 2/3 of the way through the movie, Alan's phone vibrated and he ran out to check the call. i figured it was his work or he would have ignored it and called back. Sometimes his work (tv station) will call and want to know where he left a tape or something. After about 5 minutes, i went to check on him in case it was something more serious.

It was the "director" Alan's been dealing with at DCS. i put "director" in quotes because at this point i strongly suggest she's nothing higher up than the case worker's supervisor. She said there was some more paperwork needed (minor stuff, like they'd given us an old W-9 form and needed it updated, i'd missed a date on a signature, that kind of stuff). Why they didn't notice the other 1700 times that something has been missing (previously mostly due to an overzealous shredder), i cannot say.

So we went to DCS after the movie and filled out that stuff, and listened to non-apologies about how we happened to catch them at a bad time (not today but the last several months, i guess), etc etc. And were told the only person who might hold it up is her supervisor. Huh? i thought she was the supervisor? Hence the comment from the previous paragraph.

Sigh. It doesn't feel like we're any closer than we were in October when our former case worker brought some paperwork by for me to sign, promising to turn our home study in that afternoon. Double sigh.
