I've spent all day dealing w/ less-than-responsive people in the education system, trying to make sure that kids who want to participate in something can do so. The deadline is Dec 31, so, since campus is closed after the 22nd, the deadline is effectively the 21st. I've been doing a 'campaign of fire' e-mail/phonecall/whatever--these people HAVE to get this done or literally 100's of kids who have been working on stuff since Sept 1 will be locked out.
Per boss, I sent a short e-mail to the person who runs this at the state level, asking a question about the numbers.
I just got what has to be the rudest email I've received from another 'professional' back saying that she doesn't have time, don't I know she's working on registrations due by the 31st?
*stab stab stab*
I give up for today.
I'm going back to working on the March schedule, these ne'er-do-wells can figure this out on their own.
