Memo Writing

The person who invented "memos" deserves to be pelted with waterballoons filled with natto juice. The attorney I work with asked me this morning if I preferred a "letter or a memo". I asked him, "what's the difference to you?" since I know attorneys have very different views on the world. He said he didn't care, but his boss did. So fine. I said, "memo", since memos in my head are shorter and easier to write, and hell, you don't have to sign them.

Seriously, the things I have to spend brainpower considering throughout the day are actually rotting my brain from the inside out. The world would be much more productive if the answer could always be "I don't care. You decide". And they did.
