Welcome to the world of tomorrow!

Today I taught a training class about a new form; the 29500.
(calm before the storm)
This form will be given to non-producing agents.
(so it doesn't matter)
It will be handled the same as our 29300.
(MASS HYSTERIA!)

I am constantly amazed by the things that people actually worry about. People panic and lose sleep over this stuff. "29500 is like the 29300 so we don't actually have to do anything different at all? I'M SCARED! AAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!!"

When the class had sort of calmed down, there were questions. Most of them were stupid and boring, but there was one that was stupid and entertaining: "Is this the wave of the future?"

Yes. This is the wave of the future. No hover-boards or flying cars. 29500 forms for agents who are afraid of computers so they don't generate any business for us = wave of the future. Good grief. It's a good thing this "paper" thing is the wave of the future, and not advanced things like computers or robots.

When training robots powered by fear and stupidity become the wave of the future, then I'll be out of a job.
