A simple self-inking dater that prints Jan. 2nd as ½, rather than 1/2, Jan. 4th as ¼ rather than 1/4, and so on.

Those who work in paperless offices won't get this at all, but for the rest of us who scribble endlessly into ¼"^² boxes:Some post-recovery subcontracting agency employee who walks around in a new administrative suit feels we overuse the ditto (")and the continued (|) marks when filling vertical columns repetitively in text documentation sheets. This fellow thinks we should be initialling and dating by hand in each tiny boxlet and seems willing to wait out the group's informal extension of time to comply period. What to do ... what to do? Without a labor saving invention, we're going to have an outbreak of writer's cramp (I think the proper legal term is 'carpal tunnel syndrome').

Can we devise an update-able, scalable, industry standard self-inking dater with diagonal capstan or wheel movement that will stamp on a month/day on the bias rather than linearly?
