Until you've seen the newsies report on something you know about, you can't appreciate how important it is to take what you read with a LARGE grain of salt. But still it's an important article.

While I was at the Monroe LA Shelter we had a meeting to deal with the coming closing of the shelter and a few issues (like underage drinking by volunteer staff ...) But the meeting began with what sure felt like a canned group re-education seminar aabout how fabulous we all were and how many people we'd helped. I would have felt a little better about the group self-congratulation session if it hadn't already been made clear that I was just an ignorant foot-soldier whose main job was to do and think what I was told to do and think.

I really am very con flicted about the whole thing. And I'm REALLY upset with spending since last Saturday with my bags packed waiting for deployment to Florida only to be told today that I'm not needed and not going.
