figure out how to adapt or leave (is there a 3rd option?)

Oh, she could wait. It seems the social services organization is very political in who receives help. She hates this. The light turned green and off we went. I’d find a way to adapt, if I loved the work but not the workers. Or I’d systematically plan my exit.
