Not to SCs, apparently. Before I die, I have three questions I want answered.
1. We send out a reminder card. All the person has to do is to flip the card over, check the appropriate box, sign it, and pop it back in the postage pre-paid envelope. Easy? Not so much.
"I got this thing from you??!? What do I doooooooooo?"
"Flip it over...."
"Wait, there's something on the back?"
*please, sweet Death, take me now*
"Yes, there is. Flip it over and....."
"I did! Oh! Words! But what do I dooooo?"
*all right, Buddha, what did I do in a previous life to deserve this*
"Check the appropriate box, sign it, and..."
" Wait! I gotta sign something? "
*ponders pleasurably on the SC's death warrant a moment*
"Yes. Sign on the line where it says 'signature'."
*rest of the conversation is more of the same*
2. Think of two words that aren't the same. Could be floor/chair or yacht/llama. It doesn't matter because SCs will use them interchangeably. Why? My guess is that they're distracted by the music of the spheres. Or dumber than a box of clams. Either/or, really.
3. There is a form on our website. It makes boilerplate mention of an approaching deadline, and then there's a "continue" button. A segment of the population is caught in the blinding glare of that page like a deer in headlights or a wombat under the gaze of a cobra and can't. hit. continue. Until they call. Like a magical princess (I'm more like a quokka, honestly) I free them from the terrible spell. And then I mock them to my coworkers.
Why do they mock me thus? *sobs*
