What is it about smart kids that makes them stupid? I give them an opportunity, tell them "If you’re interested, please send me the following information, filled out in the spreadsheet below." (so I can just cut and paste into a master spreadsheet rather having to fiddle with a bunch of fields) and why have I had to send at least 5 or 6 emails telling them "please provide the information in the format that I requested" or "please provide all of the information requested"

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A lifetime of getting a pass on all kinds of shit due to being known as a smart kid?
Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything.

One kid left a field blank and I responded with "please provide all of the information requested." She sent the same thing. So I replied, is there a reason that you aren't filling out the email field? her response "oh, I didn't see that. here's my email address" NOT IN THE MOTHERFUCKING SPREADSHEET.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I withdraw the opportunity. I misunderstood that you are one of the smart kids. Sorry to have bothered you, carry on.

Well, there's smart and then there's Type J. And then there's being a kid.
And then there's being a kid who's used to having everything done for her.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I hate filling out forms, but at least I try to fill them out so that I never have to look at them again.

What is Type J?
Did you put FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS precisely at several points through the e-mail asking for the information, Vortex? Not that it would have helped, likely, but it might make the whole debacle just slightly more amusing.

Ah, thanks.
