Banks, Insurance, etc.

The whole process is insanely inefficient. We've already signed one form on at least four separate occasions, each time with a minor "correction." It's all about covering everyone's ass. Of course each time we do this, for all of the numerous forms that have already happened, it's a several step operation.

1) They e-mail me the form.
2) I open it, look at it, print it out (ah crap, out of ink...sigh....)
3) Sign it
4) Get it in front of Liane so she can sign it.
5) Scan it back in (and this is never as easy as we'd like)
6) E-mail it back

As irritating as it is to do all of this, especially multiple times as in the case above, it is miles better than the way things had to be done years ago. These would have all been trips over to some office to sign. Unimaginable these days. On the other hand, as out of date as the fax machine has become, for stuff like this it is actually a little more efficient. Not about to go back to fax machines though...
