True. Although I scrawl on tons of notepads around my office, serious notetaking is on the keyboard.

And as far as being decipherable, how much does anyone care? The key is that the signature is a glyph recognizable as being produced by you. Whether it can be recognized as some variant of your legal name isn't relevant - only the fact that you signed it is.
My current signature is an illegible scrawl - a stylized cursive capital D and a squiggle stretching into a line. It's accepted when I need to sign things like checks or CC receipts. No one else will have my checks to forge a signature on, and CC charges have other defenses.
The sort of paperwork you had to sign when doing construction management isn't something I;ve had to deal with in a long time, and should I have to again, there will likely be a witness when I do sign things, which a forgery will lack.
Today's hi-tech equivalent of forgery is identity theft, but that's a different order of threat with different safeguards.

My last construction project was finishing up just prior to the crash. And obviously, nobody was going bonkers to build the type of stuff I'd work on, once the banks, JVC guys, etc., couldn't get dough. {shrug}. So, 2007 was the last time I was flinging signatures. And now? I pretty much use certified sigs, which are computer-generated, anyway, with some levels of security/encryption so that I'm the only idiot that can authorize the signatures. AND, it's easier on my hands/wrists.
