Because books.

There is a world of acknowledgement in that sentence.

Seriously, I thought I was going to love Carnivale, but the second season sucked eggs. And Deadwood, which I didn't expect to like at all, has become an obsession. Al Swearengen is the Old West's answer to Tony Soprano.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hate getting a new job. Especially a part-time summer job that they are putting me on payroll for. I have just written my social security number and address approximately a zillion times. Employers also really need to stop making every employee fill out an application that includes high school. How about just the last school you did? How about just whatever I want to tell you on my resume??

Le sigh. On the one hand, you could put all that shit on a bar code on a little plastic card and swipe it and eliminate all the paperwork.

OTOH, then they'd have all that shit on a little card.

So, everybody's clear that your supermarket discount card is a marketing tracking device and accounts for all the weirdly apt mailers you get in the mail, right?

But why do they care about the address of my high school??? Not that I put it down. They're already running a background check.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People give their real addresses to get these things? People give any addresses?

I guess I know why my mailers aren't that apt.

If I had given them my correct information, it might be. But I find that filling out forms like that is an opportunity to create a whole new personna.

t edit Heh. Big fat liar x-post!

Actually, I have a good example of people being sensible about stuff: I was supposed to prove that I had had my MMR to enroll in grad school. I could not get my pediatric records, so I had no proof. I was freaking out, couldn't register, was going to get it re-done, but then I got in front of the person in charge. She asked where I had done my undergrad and believed that THEY had gotten the proof of MMR.
