I am form-averse. You can ask me to do all kinds of things -- write a letter in the middle of the night, for instance -- and I will be fine. But ask me to fill out a form... Now that's a problem. There are some new forms that I have just started to complete for work on a monthly basis. Recently, I called a woman in our main office for help. Although it was the afternoon just before a holiday weekend, she patiently walked me through each step -- as though she had all the time in the world, which I knew she did not. A couple of times, I lost what I was working on. Instead of sounding exasperated, she kept laughing and saying, "You're hilarious." She could have called me a few other things, but we ended up having a good laugh. I was grateful both for her help and her good humor.
