My brain hurts...

I went to the office to try to print out the papers I was sent to fill out, and had to ask for help because it wasn't my computer. Then, I texted someone with a question. She answered, and then I wrote something in the wrong place, and asked if they wanted me to white it out. No.
So, I tried to write my previous employment history in all the teeny tiny spaces they had, and it wasn't working, so I texted and asked if I should use another piece of paper. She answered, "Only input what fits on the form, please."
By then I had messed up the form, so I went back to the office to print another one. I had to get into my email to get to the form to print it out, and when I tried to sign into my mail there, I realized I had forgotten the book I keep passwords in.
Back to my apartment.
I got the book, then went back to the office and printed another copy of the form I messed up. I'm going to try again after posting this, and then I may quit for now and get the other papers done tomorrow when I'm fresh and my brain doesn't hurt.
The whole time, though, I've been thanking God that this has been nowhere near as stressful as that rigmarole with the papers I had to fill out for the Coast Guard...

I really do feel for you.
I have the same problems
I just cannot write very neatly at all any more
Forms for me are a nightmare.

I am so so glad I am past that--and that this is in no way as bad as that was!

I don't remember the last time I filled out form in an actual piece of paper coz everything here is almost digital.
It's a pain.
