Recent events involved improvised rolls, but I've already lost the paper and forgotten what I rolled, so there will be no other record this time...

I'm doing better but I had to grocery shop tonight before the idiots hit the store later in the week because we have projected snow coming in. It will be a mad rush. I got all my stuff lol. I will respond tomorrow because I am coming straight home after work. My apologies to you for not taking care of this sooner.

hengest I will post in a bit in the latest active thread. I've been trying to get my son enrolled for the school next year but all the paperwork is online. I've been dealing with the school's IT for the last day. The forms won't load OR if they load they are not recognized by the server once I complete them. IT has been approaching this like somebody that is computer illiterate and making silly mistakes like entering the wrong password. I finally got through their thick skulls that I can see his information and I am on his page BUT the documents simply will NOT work. I'm headed to the school to either do it manually or show them on one of their own computers. It's been a mess and I'm really not impressed with online capabilities of simple tasks at the moment. We are not ready for this as a society because all of the infrastructure is not properly in place. How could all those great science fiction novels be so wrong? LOL

And I should have tagged you in the new thread! Again! I go all the way up there to get told, "Oh, there's a glitch in the system and no one is able to do that part right now. Give it 24 hours and we'll see if it's fixed.". They had the tie to email every parent stressing the importance of completing enrollment forms but NOT saying it couldn't be done at the moment due to an error? Frustrating. Haha...no worries.

This sort of thing frustrates me to no end. It's as you say -- we have miraculous technology (imagine, 20 years ago even, being able to reach every parent with an important message in seconds) and everyone is...well, you know what I mean.

Oh, I hear you. It makes people want to pull their hair out! I wasted hours yesterday and today attempting to complete the forms by clicking some checkmarks in yes or no columns only to have the process fail at "submit". It's assumed I don't know what I'm doing so I go to the school, and they act like everybody has already been informed. Enough to make The Pope swear...lol.

And there's nothing you can do in these situations. If you say what you said above, suddently you're yelling at an innocent party or you're the crazy dad.

I just posted because I thought I might sneak it in before bed; I have work tomorrow. I was going to read "just a chapter or two" but I read several - over 100 pages - so I just now posted. Time to hit the sack.

And if there's any praise to be given around here, The Semi-Retired Gamer deserves his share. I won't make much comment on this game (playtest!) as long as it's running, but I think it's safe to admit that Ethan has taken some actions I did not anticipate!

Yeah, The Semi-Retired Gamer, deserves an Exalt too! Both of you are doing an incredible job. This is a Tour de Force.
