it really is the little stuff

So ya' get a bunch a papers and all of the ones that need dates are dated, except for this one form. And it really doesn't have to have a date written on it when you get the form. For the purposes of this dicussion, "The forms"  are defined here as  the forms that have places for dates and signatures. It would be convenient to you if the date was listed.  It ain't rocket science, but hey they seem to be very sure all the other forms had dates. Wby not this form?  And they did write on this form, without a date written on this form, this form does has an expiry date on it that is X days from a given date to me on a completely different form. Where/how is the correspondence here?

And, it would be convenient to the person that will be given the form I fill out.
I'm just saying it ain't that convenient to me or the person that has to deal with this form. 

Now the form, the little thing,  I have to wander, does it really, I mean really does it matter. Well, now that depends, is it part of a larger pattern that matters?

The possibilities are ['yes','no','maybe']

The Yes possibility. The larger pattern that emerges from these small things shows it does matter. Well, then you need to watch this type of  small stuff. You may even need to talk to someone that can advocate for you, or you might need to advocate for someone else, or yourself. Advocating can be laborious.

The No possibility. The larger pattern that emerges from these small things don't add up to anything that is troubling. Or you talked to someone and they are advocating for you! Or hey, you did what you could to advocate and it ain't going to change.  (Nothing to see here folks, just move along, move along now.)

The Maybe possibility. More data is needed.

Now, what kinda of data can I get.  I have my personal data, observations, etc. I have the experiences of family, friends, and others in the community. Well. My personal data is rather known to me, and so maybe I need to see if these small things are part of a larger pattern that matters to others? Sounding board.
