Policy

I am fortyish
Attending a TXDOT
Talk on planning when
The three young men
In charge mention
An Executive
Summary &
Administrative
Order which they
Claim restricts decisions
To higher-ups so I raise my
Hand and point out the
Documents allow for
Flexibility on where
To place the
Decision
Point.
They correct
Me then ask who
I am so I reply I wrote
The two documents
Intending them to
Be flexible on a
Case-by-case
Basis not in
Lockstep.
Afterwards one
Of the three asks
Me who I am I reply
Just a grunt whose
Job title is oddly
Titled Special
Projects
Coordinator.
We talk awhile
Then I fade into
The crowd aware
Anonymity is
The best
Policy.
