These particular data files were not for mailing
They were for cards, badges, and envelopes
the customer redid the data with shorter titles for the badges.
the didn't like the small font they ended up with.  ;D

Hard to put 10lbs. of shit in a 5lb. bag.
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

I had a training course to take online and they showed this and I thought of you, Tracy

I've always said, I can fit anything you want into any space you want, but I can't guarantee you'll be able to read it when I do. I once did a newspaper ad in 4 pt. condensed type because the customer wouldn't pay for anything larger than a 1 column by 1 inch.

Sounds like one of those companies that give employees fancy titles rather than raises.

Sometimes you just have to show them how shitty it looks with their bad data for them to understand.
