So I’m filling out a Transfer Request sheet at work and it hits me. This is incredibly stupid.
Yup, a new redesigned form that’s apparently built for dorktards. There’s a checklist (you know, for people who forget to put their socks on before their shoes). One of the boxes says this:
Transfer Request Form (the one you’re writing on right now)
Now, I’m not the smartest person on Earth (I’m the sixth smartest), but seriously, think about this for a second. Why do we need a checkbox for the form we’re filling out? Does not the fact that we are filling out the form mean that we are (what’s the phrase I’m seeking here? Oh yeah!) FILLING OUT THE FORM??? What am I going to do, give all the transfer information on a clay tablet? Send some freaking pigeons? Light a signal fire? I mean, hello!
It’s insulting enough to common sense to make me want to malliciously fill in the line that says “Date of Request” with the word “Today” just to spite them. After all, that’s about how stupid the people who designed this form must think those of us who fill out the form are.
RAWR!!!!
On the other hand, it reminds me of Public Transit, which only goes to show…I am a prophet without trying.
