Rant: Registrar's office

[cards2468]

These morons should be shot. I noticed a couple weeks ago that I was no longer registered in my Ad-Math course, so I filled out some paperwork and got 3 different signatures for it, then took it to the registrar's office for them to fix it. First off, the lady kept trying to type in my Student ID number and told me that I wrote my number incorrectly. I could see her screen and see her mistakes every time, so I said my ID out-loud to get her to type it in correctly. After about 15 minutes of watching this lady fight with a keyboard, she finally got it into the system. I went to register for classes for next semester, and my adviser noticed I wasn't registered for Ad-Math. Fortunately she had the original copy of my paper work so she went ahead and faxed it to them a week ago to get them to fix it... I get on my student account today and I'M STILL NOT REGISTERED!!! What the hell??? I don't understand how such incompetent people can be hired to deal with such a crucial aspect of the University...

I had an adventure with them once. I can't remember what type of shot I needed, but when I went back to school as a non-trad, the registrar had a hold on me until I got the shot. Fine, I go to the health office to get the shot. They tell me that I can't get the shot until I have registered. I can't get registered until I get the shot. Wanted to punch someone.

When I worked in university administration, a staffer once wrote in an email that she worked for an institution of "hire ed".

I couldn't resist. I asked her if anyone named Ed walked through the door, were they hired on the spot?
