The First Step Towards Failure

Being reminded today that trying to achieve anything is always, always, always a mistake, I thought I'd take the time out to remind you.

Working for anything is a sure-fire way to make yourself irrelevant.

Attempting to attain anything fetters you in, locks you down, and bolts you to the floor.

Form I-9, Employee Eligibility Verification: "Paperwork Reduction Act"

"We try to create forms and instructions that are accurate, can be easily understood and which impose the least possible burden on you to provide us with information. Often this is difficult because some immigration laws are very complex.
