A week
Since I last posted. I must have finish my thesis eh?
So it has been printed and shrink wrapped, and then shrink wrapped again as I thought of something I really wanted to change (not even in the thesis part of the thesis either -for that matter), and then handed in with my sheets and signed things. And then I went to hand in my form to graduate and the registrars office pissed me off:
Brainless Twit: "oh, this form can't be handed in until you pay the graduation fee."
me: "well, can I pay you?"
BT: "no. you have to go out and around the front and down the hall to the cashier to pay."
me: "then can you take this and I'll go pay on my way out?"
BT: "No, this sheet must have a paid stamp on it."
me: "then why doesn't it say that on it? if anywhere on here you all had put a spot and said 'this must be stamped as paid before handing in' - I would have done that. But it doesn't, so I stood in line here and now I'm supposed to go stand in line at the cashier and then come back and stand in line again?"
BT: "..."
me: "and no other form works this way. All throughout my time here as a student all forms must come to you first in order for the charge to even show up on the account at the cashier. In fact, I have to hand in my registration forms a day early for it to then show up for the cashier to know the amount..."
BT: "..."
me: "so for graduation you all decided to change up the process? The last form that comes to you is the one where the order is reversed?"
BT: "..."
me: "nice. Very nice."
So needless to say, I've still not handed in my form to graduate. I decided I'd phone the cashier from the office on monday, put it through on my credit card, and then inter-office mail the paper to the registrars office. I'm so not standing in that line again.
HA!

Go Jen! Very nice out down without being rude.

A victory is a victory, though. They all count! I think your speech to the BT makes it an even bigger victory, too.
Down with the bureaucracy! Er, yeah!

You go Jen. I love the level of snark you used. Just the right amount.
Why is The Man always trying to get us down?
{sigh}
Also, Heeeee! :-D
