GRAH!"Student Services" my ass! "Students Getting Bent Over A Table" is more like it!
All right, I took this semester off, and now when I'm trying to register for the fall - which I was told I should have no trouble with - I'm locked out of the actual site that allows me to do so. So I go to the
alternate site for new or unregistered students (even though I've already put in five semesters there) and it asks for my PIN. My PIN?
What the fuck?
I call the support line and ask why I can't log in, and she says I need to come up to the registrar's office - "I'm in
Lake Charles," I interrupt, because my university is a two and a half hour drive from where I live - and as she continues to go on about reapplying (?!) she suddenly stops and starts talking to someone giving her instructions. She then says she can transfer me to someone else to ask about the alternate student site and find out about the PIN, which they apparently only started using recently because I had never heard about the damn thing before today. That woman told me to enter my social security number, then click the "I forgot my PIN" button and answer the question provided that only I should know the answer to. All right, fine. There should be no problem with that. I get to the question:
"What is my pen name?"
...Ok. I only have two names I could possibly use there. I try them both. In every way I can think of typing them. Neither work.
WHAT THE FUCK?! What else am I supposed to put there?! Come to think of it, when the hell did I set up that question?! What is going on?! When did they decide to screw around with the system?! And there is
nothing, absolutely
nothing anywhere on the website about what to do! God
damn it all I want hurt something!
