People are strange.

I just agreed to speak at a big festival. They invited me by contacting my publicist. I told him I'd do it.

They then sent him (not me) an email with an attached PDF, and asked him to forward it to me, and to instruct me to check page two of the PDF for a link to a Microsoft Form to complete my RSVP.

Surely there is a better way.

@pluralistic i remember once having a project manager email me a word doc of a screenshot of a location on the server where a file i needed was. it's a kind of rube goldberg machine of sending information. at the very least, it makes a good story

@joshbuddy @pluralistic I recently received an error report through slack; it was in the form of a photo
of a phone
which displayed a photo (presumably done by that phone)
of a PC monitor
where the error dialog was actually displayed
