Perhaps it's because I'm at the end of a 14-hour stint on Memorial Day
(long story), but I'm in the midst of the dreaded claims and I ran
across this note on the invoice:

        A copy of the mailing label must accompany all claims.

I rose wearily from my chair and walked over to the current periodicals
area and discovered - the periodical in question comes in an envelope,
there is no mailing label attached.  Am I supposed to maintain a file of
mailing labels?  I suppose the obvious answer is yes - more damn
paperwork.  I'm sure that the publisher has a good reason for it, but it
appears to be just another stumbling block in the road...to somewhere.
I think I'll take the road home.
Tomorrow will be better.
