I just blew my morning writing time on wrestling with a contract. I know rationally that this is a good problem to have.
But GOOD GRIEF. My eyes are bleeding. Umpteen pages with clauses that contradict each other! Typos making some sections refer to subclauses that didn't exist! And the language, lord, the language. Would it kill people to render a contract in language that a reasonably bright person could comprehend?
The thing that really confuses me is that this thing was boilerplate. There's no way this was generated just for me. I'm too new and too unimportant. Half of the thing didn't even apply to what I've written.
That means other people have signed this document, typos, contradictions, and all.
And that's why I'm using the last five minutes of my writing time this morning to post a note saying please, don't sign things you haven't read, even if reading them makes your eyes bleed.
