Question...

Okay. Say I send you a spreadsheet to fill in weekly. I will quote part of the instructions here.

"Do not alter anything on the Weekly page (it automatically populates itself). Your weekly total will print out on the Wednesday page, there’s no need to even look at the Weekly page at all."

Now tell me, does this seem clear? Concise? An easy direction to follow, even? And upon reading it, do you think, "Huh, if *I* had that spreadsheet, I think I should go enter information on the Weekly page." What about DO NOT is hard to understand?!?

I'm just asking, for the sake of my sanity here.

EDIT: Okay, so it turns out the guy who filled it in wasn't given the instructions. And no, I have no idea why, though my thoughts run towards the boys all not getting along. It's like babysitting sometimes.

Ouch.

I hope it got better eventually... :)

Oh, it's growing out. And a training regimen for the cowlick involving copious amounts of gel seems to have been effective. I was going for a shorter, choppier version of T'Pol's hairdo from Enterprise. I ended up with something vaguely mushroom-ish and *very* shaven. It was almost more of a shock than when I went from small-of-the-back-length to short. But it's growing. It's growing...

P.S. Three guesses as to who this is. ;-) (Take it off LJ or do your guessing cryptically, if you don't mind, though -I've got a stalker-boy ex who, as of yet, hasn't found me here!)
