Wish my boss had learned to write cursive esp. writing that is at least legible.
IMO, It makes him look dumb... especially when most of us can't decifer what he has writtien on a message to us and inveribly, we are always going to him to "decifer" the message and/or numbers for quotes to customers etc. This is succh a time waster! It's a real pain in the butt.

I believe that schools still need to teach cursive writing (it's faster than printing, if practiced and used often) and people should be proud enough to write well. It makes you look smarter and "polished". When I hired people for jobs that required notes and reports, hand written 95% of the time - I always bounced the bad writers.

Your signature is a whole "other" elelment - no?
