Do they not teach that in school anymore? Or do people just think that now that they're grown-up it doesn't apply to them!!!!

Jesus these people are stupid. *argh* Right now at work, we're trying to get people to give us industry standard information. How many names on your list are in each state. Otherwise known as state counts. We do this twice a year, and yet, people fail to do this correctly.

Some people send a total number. What part of I need state counts, sounds like a freakin total???!!!

Other people start giving us the third degree. Well what do you want it for? It's a fucking standard request in this idustry. We have to know how many names you have available before we can figure out how many names to order. It's your job to give me information. It's not like you work for the Pentagon! Christ!

And then, part of this little excercise is asking them to provide these counts on our web page. Now I admit, our web page could use a design upgrade, it has a billion features no one uses but damn! How hard can it be? I asked for state counts. You go, you log in, and for some fucking reason they choose "clearances" from the menu, as opposed to "state counts" and then send an email telling us we're cleared to use their list. How does any of this jive with I need state counts.

*GAH* People are stooopid.
