So the expected deluge of forms still hasn't started but the phones today didn't bloody stop. *twitches gently and clings to tea* Why is it so difficult for people to read the bloody paperwork? Eh?

The really annoying thing is we've set up workshops this week so people who are confused by the forms can go to them and have someone explain everything, face to face, slowly and carefully. And the take up has been abysmal. As PartyGirl said, it's a good idea, we just need to find a way to get them there. And make them remember what we say. *sighs*

If anyone wants me, I'll be over here developing a nervous tic ;)

LOL! I get calls every day like this. It says things clearly on our web site and in materials we mail out--like the deadline is January 2nd. "If I'm not taking the entrance exam until April, can I still apply?" We require an entrance exam. "Do I really have to take the entrance exam?" You can't attend part time. "Can I attend part time?" We require a prerequisite course in human development. "Will my course in lifespan human development count?" So far, I have managed to wait until I hang up before I say: "If you are too stupid to figure out the application requirements, you are too stupid to get into the program!"

*gigglefits* Ahh yes, you do indeedy understand the pain. I do have a permanent fear that one day I won't be quick enough to censor my reply :)
