I was going to post the same thing. I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve misdated a document because I used a previous document as a template and forgot to check the date.
I get what you mean but we’d need a couple dozen templates and updating them would probably not be worth the time. I’ve gotten in the habit of highlighting everything that needs updating or verification on the first pass.
seriously i took a few hours for a week at the beginning of my career to write out basic forms that i could use over and over, that would autofill. shit that would take an hour or two a client if i did it by hand. is this just attorney stuff to pad out billable hours or does no one else think that far ahead?

am i the only person who had the foresight to make blank templates? that autofilled the dates?

Yep.

Scopes for all the projects are usually too different. I put together a checklist system instead.
Keep flaunting your Office skills like that and you might just land yourself a job in middle management if you’re not careful
upper management, actually. it was not great.
