Dear Users of [System I Support],
Why do you do this to yourselves? You do work all month long. You know your data entry to document that work is due at the end of the month. You get reminders about this every week.
So why is it that, on the last working day of the month, about 80% of you call me in a panic? It seems that you can't log in because you forgot your password, which wouldn't be a problem if you used it more than once a month. Or you have several hours of work to do in just one afternoon but you can't because you missed one of the first steps and can't remember how to do it.
Today, one of you even forgot the name of the data entry system.
And next week, another 10% of you will complain to me that you thought "due on the last calendar day of the month" means "about a week into next month is fine."
Seriously: Follow the instructions I gave you years ago and have posted in no fewer than eight places, do you data entry at least in the same week you do the work, and we won't have these problems.
