We love our users, really we do...

Actually, I made an instant friend last night on the help desk. A nurse from one of the psych units called with a routine problem. While I was fixing it, she mentioned, "you're lucky to just take phone calls. You don't want to come in to a psych unit." I mentioned I took a call there a couple of years ago, when a patient went ape, and smashed every PC, monitor, printer, fax, and phone in the unit.

"I was there that day!" she said. "I remember you. Wasn't that something? Wow, talk about a small world."

So we reminisced for a couple minutes while I finished resetting her passwords. It was definitely a pleasnt suprise for me.

Ok, I am fuming.

I get to school and there's a letter for me. From the official whoevers, saying that because I've only taken 6 credits of math there, and the other 11 credits at the community college, I can't get my math minor. Only I took 9 credits there. So I'm furious all through class. I went down to the registrar's office and point this out and the lady says no, one class doesn't count because it's only Math 180, and it has to be a 200 level course.

Now, I've been at my school for three years. I've had two advisors. I asked both advisors several times, will this math minor thing work, I want to get it, are you sure I don't have to take any more classes. They assured me... and now it's too late, I'm graduating in three months.

I'm going back Thursday to talk to the actual registrar. Oh, am I mad! I'll hand him his head on a platter if need be, but I want my minor!

This, 2J and Rosie, is on top of the fact that unless I get a letter from the school district saying I was a good little homeschooler, they won't let me graduate. I was done with high school 5 years ago, I have an Associates' degree... it makes me so mad...
