I learned, working with interacting agencies, that everyone who controls a precious resource eventually becomes a prick about it. Probably not everyone. Likely, it just seems that way. It does make me wonder what precious resources I did control, and what ones I might even now - even things like my time and attention, if anyone still considers those valuable - and how I am doing with that. I'm a little afraid to look, frankly.
