Ugh.
You know those standardized tests we took in school? Or at least, those around my age probably did. The ones where you fill in the balloons? Yeah, well, the lastest survey our lab sent out was done in that style. I learned how to do this in Catholic school, so I was terrified of the consequences of not filling in the circles completely and without going over the edges. Maybe it's more compelling to be careful when it's a test in school (especially if you took the SATs, and were convinced that one stray mark and you wouldn't go to college), but know how I'm spending all day? Fixing surveys that were inaccurately filled out. I'm filling in circles and cleaning up stray marks. All day. I beg you, if you don't want to fill out some random mail survey, fine. But if you do, remember that some is entering that shit, and if you are ornery and insist on going directly against the directions on the form, someone, somewhere, has to sort it out.

In other news, it's so gorgeous out today that I almost believe that I only have a month til summer.
