no, these are not reminders.

today someone came into my office and said, "wow! that sure is a lot of reminders!" they're not reminders; they're "sign here" flags for all the signtaures i have to obtain. probably almost as obnoxious as reminders.

ADDENDUM: today, may 26, another co-worker just stopped in here and made a comment about all my "sign here" flags.

SIDE NOTE: these flags have been on my monitors for about two years. and i don't think anyone has made comments previously - other than to ask to have one.
