Ok, I’m not exactly biting my tongue on this one, because I am writing about it. A girl on my Facebook friends list commented that the curriculum for her daughter’s home school program arrived and she (the mom, not the daughter) was anxious to get started. I commented that I used to threaten my kids with home schooling to keep them in line. This comment started a whole slew of remarks from people who (obviously) home school. (more…)
I am one of those people who remembers things. While this is great when it comes to finding the keys to the car, in other areas it doesn’t serve me so well. There are things I’d rather not remember, yet they are there clogging up my thoughts. Ugh.
Ryan O’Neal mentions in Vanity Fair magazine that he didn’t recognize his own daughter and made a pass at her at Farrah Faucett’s funeral. That had to be embarrassing. How can someone not remember his own child, but the article goes on to say that it had been decades since they had seen each other.
Today my mother called me because she had been trying to print out a rebate from Olay.com and was not able to print out the rebate. It was cut off. So I tell her I will print out the rebate (thinking it was nothing). I print the rebate and it was cut off.
So I took a close look at the rebate and what do I see? The document is sized at 17.7″ wide x 22.9″ long.
Unless one knows enough to shrink the document to fit the paper, one is not going to be able to print out the rebate, and will be very frustrated, probaby not realizing that it’s not them. My mother was frustrated because she doesn’t print out PDF files often enough to know that they can be made any size. I consider my mother very technically savy for her age.
I resized the rebate form. You can download the rebate form HEREÂ (at least until Olay tells me to stop).
I am not going to speculate as to why Olay posted a rebate that can’t be easily printed. Rebates are a big enough pain without this added distraction.
