Dear Ergonomics Society,
As an avid fan of ergonomics and human factors engineering in particular, I feel it is my duty (and overwhelming desire) to write to you and introduce myself. I am not, contrary to popular belief, a professional ergonomist, but as a certified human being I am more than qualified to have an opinion on the scientific discipline of all matters relating to human needs and so on. And I do. I understand that your society is the professional body reserved strictly for ergonomists but would you willing to make an exception for me? If you make me a member of your society, you will not regret it I can assure you and I will share with you all my ideas on how to improve ergonomics, take it to the next level as they say, and bring it to a wider, more mainstream audience. The future of ergonomics is bright indeed but only in the right hands and those hands just happen to be the very ones typing this email to you now. How about that for a coincidence? Incidentally, what do ergonomists think about coincidences? (I am duly sceptical, more on my theory once I am officially signed up.)
I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully receiving my membership badge in the post soon.
Kind regards,
Gerry
P.s did you hear the one about the boy at school who wasn’t very good at ergonomics and got bullied because he didn’t fit in?
