I'm trying to get a phone number and an email addy for a new employee.

Naturally - naturally - I can't just call someone up and request these things. Oh god no, that would be way too convenient, and the reason IT departments were devised in the first place was to eliminate that annoying "human contact" thing. So instead I need to complete about 157 individual fields on a fillable screen. And of course, there's no way this can ever go smoothly.

My note to the IT professional in charge:

Hi -

This really has to be the worst form I've ever seen. If I make a mistake and try to correct it, it just returns to reminding me of the previous mistake.

Story of my life, I guess.

Thanks -- mac56.
