Surveys: A special gift from Hell.

This is Amurica ok people. I have rights for cryin' out loud! So will someone please explain to me the necessity people in bearuocratic positions feel for harassing decent, God fearing people, to fill out surveys. Doggonit if I don't feel like filling out a cotton pickin survey and giving you...and everybody in cyber space...my personal information, I don't have to.

Now before you folks get on your soap box and give me a good tellin' to, I am completely aware of and understand the purpose of a survey. Gather information to better serve the community yadda yadda yadda....If there's one thing I've learned from reading business and psychology books and articles it's that everyone, that is every single person in this world only cares about one single thing. Themselves. It's a hard habit to break and I am a firm believer in realizing you have a problem is the first step to fixing it, but I...well, that's another blog.

Right now I'm angry. Wellllll......more annoyed than anything.

One book in particular claims the ONLY way to get someone to do something they don't want to do, is to make them WANT to do it. How? Well you'll have to read the book for that trade secret...and as testimony, I've had several surveys presented to me in the last few months, I haven't wanted to do them and so I refused to participate. This resulted in several garbage bags full of sticky-door letters and a worn out delete button from those nasty emails...I'm currently in a "battle" right now...I'll win, it's just a  matter of riding out the storm.

Paranoid. Selfish. Whatever the subconscious reason may be, this is one thing I have put my foot down for and I'm not budging....it's the principle really...What is the principle? Oh...well, yah know, to be able to choose not to do something you don't want to do if you don't have to...and not be harassed with 8 million EMAILS AND PAMPHLETS!!!
