Paperless World???

I think it’s a fair estimate to say I have personally been responsible for the demise of an entire tree this week.
Maybe even a Great Sequoia!

Forms, forms and more forms.
Weren’t we supposed to be going paperless?
I have more papers on my desk right now than food in my cabinets, socks in my drawer, lame ideas in my head!
Papers are everywhere and they all need filled out.

Some of the papers (school registration forms) ask the same question two or three times!
They are very serious about knowing your Doctor, Dentist and Emergency Contacts…God forbid they get stuck with a sick kid.
I tend to write “see previous answer” a lot…maybe they’ll get it.

The real issue though is the paper!
Why can’t these forms be filled out online…it’s 2006 folks!
With “Cut & Paste” I could be through it all in an hour.
But this antiquated way puts me at Day 3 and countless cups of Coffee & Bailey’s!
It’s all becoming a blur.

Then factor in that everything I fill out,
There is some poor soul on the other end that has to input it somewhere.
What a waste…
At least the address I’m returning them to isn’t someplace in India!
Yet!!!
