Old Timers, Which Is Worse: Endless Paperwork or Waiting For Computer To Unfreeze...?
Not sure who has it worse.
Back in the day I used to have to do paperwork until my hand hurt, after which I could barely hold a pen or anything else and submitting multiple hand written copies of anything just offended my sensibilities. Carbon paper was incredibly dirty and if you made any typing errors you just made it 3-5 times. Photocopies (and I don't mean the new ones that are related to a scanner) were pretty crappy and those huge machines were expensive. Even the school library was like 10 cents a copy back in 1980.
Today everything is "type it in" and "copy / paste", need 75 copies? No problem. Mass mail to 2,000 customers, no problem. That is assuming your computer actually works. With every update 12 things stop working, with every upgrade pages load slower to the point I can watch something until the next commercial and check to see if the page loaded or unfroze yet. Worst thing in the world is filling out 25 pages of info and hitting Final Submit to have the damn thing lock up and lose everything you just did.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
