Turquoise 3 by monikozi

Turquoise 3

My writing ink is turquoise. Every working day, I must fill in this form and sign it. It is a bureaucracy bull sh*t. In the 21st century, our work authorities only accept handwritten signatures.
There's a joke around about this situation, with a note on a door of an authority writes "The forms may be forwarded online on the second floor."
Do you remember the Asterix and Obelix episode: https://youtu.be/JtEkUmYecnk ?
reminds me more of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy

Looks like those signs on a public loo door showing staff have "checked" it!!

10/10 for consistency.

LOL

I have a "thing" for stationery - and fountain pens in particular (I refuse to write with anything else). I love this image!
November 24th, 2021  
That's a beautiful pen!

A beautiful pen, beautiful ink, and lovely DOF. Sorry about the bureaucratic nonsense.

Beautiful shot with wonderful dof and colour. Your signature is very consistent, mine is different every time. Why are the numerals always the same Moni?

Great idea for the turquoise colour. Beautiful fountain pen and nice signature image. All in all a great photo.
November 24th, 2021  
Nice shot
November 24th, 2021  
I like the photo, the protocol is not!
November 24th, 2021  
You’ve choosen the best color !
November 24th, 2021  
Are you sure that ink is not peacock blue? That is the color I had when I was a teen and it was similar. Nice focus and DOF on this image… I can feel your frustration in the description.

Great that you use a fountain pen..What do you do that requires this?
November 24th, 2021  
No digital system for this ?
In my latest job they wanted to record every 5 min. of the work I did. I told him they have to hire someone to watch and do this. I`m to expensive . .

What a fantastic photo to capture bureaucracy madness. I think there are many of us feel and understand exactly what you have shot!
November 25th, 2021  
Nice shot, lovely coloured ink.
November 25th, 2021  
Gosh, I am so pleased that I am out of it.
November 25th, 2021  
Does seem ridiculous in this age when there are digital signatures….even for buying a house. Love the way you setup the shot though.
November 25th, 2021  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Hahaaaa!!!! Indeed something like that!
November 25th, 2021  
@wakelys :D See? It's in my system to be that rigourous instead of loose. And it is not very pleasant. Even if the consistency in this one is not a stress. It comes so naturally, no effort at all. It's just there. (I panic as I write this).
November 25th, 2021  
@fluidsculpture Oh, don't start me on stationery... It is my softspot. I still have my old fountain pen that I started writing with, in the first grade. (not the one in the photo).
November 25th, 2021  
@kvphoto It does say turquoise on the website :D But isn't it a beautiful colour? Whatever the name.
November 25th, 2021  
@pyrrhula Oh yes, Ferry! That is a very good reply. And you are so right: am I here to work or fill in forms?
Luckily this one is 30 seconds a day and is pure formality.
November 25th, 2021  
So, yes: it is idiotic that in a digital era, the handwritten signature on paper to be requested. We are almost 100 employees in the company (IT company, go figure!). And we all have to fill in this crap, daily, with the times we start and end work and lunch break. I've been filling in with the same times for almost 2 years now, and obviously nobody notices, because nobody looks at these sheets. Of course I don't start daily at 8. But it takes me 30 seconds to fill a row. And it's not worth making a fuss. Apparently it's the authorities who are asking for this waste of paper.
Thank you very much, @kali66 @30pics4jackiesdiamond @wakelys @ethelperry @fluidsculpture @marlboromaam @ljmanning @ludwigsdiana @borof @bkbinthecity @cocobella @kork @kvphoto @delboy207 @pyrrhula @christinav @kjarn @yaorenliu and @shutterbug49

Love the photo! But I agree it is ridiculous to have to do this even though it doesn't take a lot of time.
November 25th, 2021  
@ingrid01 Thank you!
November 25th, 2021  
I remember the days we used fountainpens. If it were my sheets they would look different all the time. yours is nice and need.

@bruni Thank you very much!
