Rants & Whines Writer's Cramp

I'm now grading employment agencies on the amount of handwritten forms they want me to fill out, extra points off if it's duplicating info that's in my resume and more points off if the form asks open-ended questions like "why did you leave?" and then gives me one inch of space to answer.

The agency on Thursday was the worst, wanted 15 pages, front *and* back, filled out, lots of questions with no space to answer and duplicating everything on my resume which they'd already had me email them in a Word document and I'd done that before the interview. After all that work, then they tell me that I needed to go to a different office that handled the accounting jobs, they said they'd courier my forms over to the other office, no problem. Then I call the other office (like they told me to) to make an appointment for the next day and they say that they won't get the forms until Tuesday! Sheesh, what courier are they using, slow boat to China?
