Some Words

K and I just got a call from the apartment managers. We’d had to change the dates on some of the 27 (!) pages of our lease. We did not initial the changes at the time, which were basically changing the date to be the first of the month, when we were signing it a few days before the first of the month. They wanted us to initial these changes, which strikes me as silly. All of the times I’ve ever been asked to initial changes, on checks and the like, have struck me as silly. If I were illegally altering something, how on earth would someone else’s initials, which almost no one bothers to put in script anyway, going to slow me down?
