Authorities, government agencies, and professionals

....all vying for your time, attention, and space.

God help you any time you become dependent on any one of them, as each one considers the agendas of their profession or of the agency they work for to be of the utmost priority (and practically "all that exists in the world").  They'll start "owning you", force you onto THEIR schedule (always early morning, too.  Why so early? Are they "harvesting wheat"?), force you to halt whatever else you're doing in your life at the time in insisting on your "undivided attention".

What's even worse is if you're dealing with more than one of these factions at the same time

....while hoping none of the appointment times overlap.

I'm talking about ALL the "legitimate" and "official" factions.  Not just government and the police but also ANYONE ELSE with any kind of authority, including even those with a miniscule amount, from government agencies to even medical and dental clinics, even bosses and landlords, business owners, managers, and the like.
