This borders on ludicrous that "int_is_client" can either be of type boolean or number, and that 'dtm_last_posted' can be of type undefined, null or a string.

It exceeds ludicrosity. There's an existing function on the PeopleClient model in JS that handles all 4 edge cases, and it's pure madness. I literally feel your pain.

This now accounts for morning too. :(
