livingdebWe got a request a while ago to submit possible mottos for my workplace. We got a couple of examples:
"Office of the Registrar – Your Credit is Good with Us.
"Office of the Registrar – Preserve the Past, Provide for the Present, Plan for the Future.
"I'm sure you can improve on these ideas."
No, I couldn't. I was really in a bad mood that day and had nothing positive to say about our office. All I could think of were evil, smarmy things, which they really did not want to hear.
Now that the healing power of over two months of time has gone by, here are the mottos I've come up with:
Office of the Registrar ...
... Our favorite color is red tape.
... Where beauty trumps function.
... Giving you the run-around because bad guys take advantage.
... Where your needs might be addressed in phase II.
... First SSN remediation, then your request.
... Awfully good service, considering.
... Leaping technical difficulties in a single bound! Daily! Instead of fixing them!
I might be able to use a little bit more healing.
I did think of one positive one:
... Strict with records; nice with you.
See, and for the logo there's a filing cabinet with one of those combination locks like safes have, plus, connecting the drawer handles, both of the two kinds of locks that bicycle owners use. And there's a person with a tight grip on the cable lock behind her, like it's a leash on a snarling guard dog, but she's facing the other way, toward a student, and smiling nicely. Oh, wait! There should be a snarling guard dog, too!
There's a reason I'm not in advertising.
