This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The notary has to be approved by the State. Basically, if a notary attests to some fact, it is as if the entire government bore witness to it.
That's still just a glorified pinky promise... I guess what I'm trying to say is that being notary sounds like a super easy job
It is, which is why basically nobody is only a notary. It's like being CPR certified. Great, but your day job is gonna be something else.
If you look up where notaries are in your state database, they're in places like law firms or banks or insurance companies, where their day jobs are something different (paralegal, bank teller, locksmith, etc.), and where they can sign a few documents for $20 and record it in their ledger.
