Seems like we've all been suffering some kinda creepy delusion where we thought Francis was the Sheriff but thank heaven we've all just been dreaming.
And not one of those cool dreams where you wake up refreshed and feeling great like one of those neato flying dreams but more like some dark and terrible dream somebody else came up with like in that trippy movie Inception.
Kinda seems like I just woke up from some messed up, horrible dream inside a dream and it turns out the old Sheriff is still the Sheriff since he's still in charge of scheduling vacations and stuff according to Francis. Unfortunately the old Sheriff isn't doing such a bangup job at scheduling these days but who can blame him since he hasn't been back to the office for around six months?
Clearly the scheduling snafu isn't Francis fault, he's a complete buffoon who shouldn't be entrusted with the simplest of intellectual chores involving other people so obviously the old Sheriff blew it with Francis' staff and got their vacations cancelled this month with three weeks left in July...
Holy shit that was the dream too! The old Sheriff isn't the Sheriff anymore and here we are stuck in freaking limbo with the whack job that wants us to think this is reality and the fucker still can't handle scheduling or taking responsiblity for his foulups. The worst part is Francis doesn't even care that he's screwed up the plans of guys that work for him.
A typical full blown douchebag blames that kinda crap on somebody else. Maybe there's a support group for that that can stop him before he starts flipping up his collar and calling every gal 'babe.'
But deep down inside we know this isn't real like its supposed to be. This is some utterly crackerdog swerve on reality that just won't hold and those incredibly unlucky shmos working for him get to suffer for it.
Francis says next month is the same deal and he's got more of the old Sheriff's staffing issues to deal with. I guess he'd better figure it out lickety split since next month he has to go to court to face a lawsuit from those same COs he just pooped on while blaming it on the old Sheriff.
Ain't that a coinkydink.
What in the hell is going on around here?

Background for the un-initiated:
November 2010 saw Francisco Rivero elected on platform of transparency and reform with the help of an indicted pot grower and a character assassination blog. Not quite our proudest day but not as bad as some other days. Actually the jury is still out on this one so stay tuned.
Francisco didn't like anything or anyone remotely associated with the former Sheriff so he set out wiping the slate clean by changing the deputies uniforms, destroying the Office of Emergency Services, firing volunteer reserves, demoting some officers and promoting others, taking away correctional officers guns and coffee then giving them a cartoon badge, unplugging the kitchen at the Lowerlake substation,alienating every other law enforcement agency in this county and those of neighboring Mendocino, picking fights with local government officials and squabbling with the state and the county over courthouse security which it turned out wasn't his call.
And then things got weird.
