For What You're Charging...!!!

Amazing how one (my beloved) can spend thousands of dollars on his education at a certain institution of higher learning (GWU) & they don't seem able to produce one lousy form. Jeff was sent to 2 different offices, and left feeling that the info he was given wasn't right & possibly with the wrong form. Now he has to call back, come back later, discuss with an adviser & ferret out the actual truth.

Reminds me of how the organizers of my graduation from the same institution couldn't bother with an inclement weather contingency plan. No - it never rains in DC! Especially when there's an out-door graduation planned!

Priorities!

Ok, I'll let you know what came of this SNAFU.

UPDATE 8/17/04: Jeff found out, after again being telephonically shuffled around, that he just needed to send an email to the grad school adviser/coordinator, telling her that he wanted a leave of absence & why. She, in theory, would effect the necessary paperwork and circulate to the pertinent parties. Let's just see if it's that easy. More to come on this, no doubt.
