My ward calling is to design the Sunday programs. I try to make them look nice and use some nice type. They're not masterpieces, but I think they're at least better than some of the comic sans versions you occasionally see in our chapels. However, this morning I received a lovely email from I guy I've never met. It reads as follows:
Laura Tait,
Hi, my name is Jesse Daily. I am a student here at BYU and I do a lot of typesetting for my job. I came across your program last sunday and I critiqued it. Don't get me wrong... you have done a great job, but I did have some comments on it. Now I understand that you don't know me, and we will probably never meet. So, if you think that all my comments are garbage, it won't offend me because I realize I am not a professional, I am an amateur. But I hope you do find them useful.
Regards,
Jesse Daily
All I have to say is—who does this?!?
First image is my original program, and the second is the program with Jesse's wonderful comments:

HAHAHAHA,
Walking in broad daylight in the trenches of BYU, unknown to anyone, is the "Masked Typesetter"...er...er...er...er.... Just when Sunday program designers least suspect it, the Masked Typesetter *ATTACKS* bringing justice and peace to Sunday programs everywhere...
Stay tuned for more crusades from the "Masked Typesetter"...er...er...er...er....
what in the world?????
this is the absolute weirdest thing. is he in your ward? how did he know that you designed it and how did he get your email??
are you sure this isn't one of the boys playing a trick on you?
Rory? Regan? Colin? Fess up.
my favorite comment is that the J looks like an F.
hahahahahahhaha
and he even says it twice, just to make sure you don't miss that.
and why does he hate on the sisters? why does he only cross out sister and not brother?
oh.
i just saw that your email address is on the program.
my previous question has been answered.
and i just noticed that he did cross out the brothers too.
but actually, why is there a picture of a guy giving blood next to the announcement for a financial class? he does have a point there.
I want to comment three times too so that this post can have the most comments than any other post on this blog ever, and, if nothing else, Jesse Daily will have served us well for a popular class blog post.
But for everything else, BOOOOOOO TO JESSE DAILY.
My favorite is that he labels serifs, sans-serifs and bold faces. Thank you, sir.
I find this really offensive. Laura already knows this but I just wanted to say it again for the record. Who has that kind of nerve!?!
