Oh, Japan. You never stop...
...bringing the failboat.
I haven't been able to log into my university email for going on a week now. The university email is already cocked up because:
So when repeatedly careful one-finger-typing attempts to log myself in failed, I gave up. Until today, when I had to go through yet another health check but couldn't remember when it was. (Predictably, this information was not supplied on the Current Students homepage).
So I asked a fellow student if she could log in, which is about the only way to get answers around here.
"Oh yeah," she said. "They changed the email addresses. Now you have to put in 'qx' instead of 'pc.'"
"When did they tell us about that?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer.
"Oh, they sent an email about it when they made the change."
I will leave you to ponder this on your own. Have fun.
That will be all.
I haven't been able to log into my university email for going on a week now. The university email is already cocked up because:
- You can't change your randomly generated username (think 2t719r81) to something memorable, like your name. Have fun giving that addy to a potential employer over the phone.
- When logging in you must do so with your entire email address (271981tr@pc.ritsume.ed.jp). Have fun typing that in every single time.

Which is maybe for the best. I totally didn't catch on to last year's, even ranted at a friend over how messed up I thought it was and everything.
Luckily for me, she just sat there quietly
probably enjoying the joke.no subject

Thanks for digging up that page!

There's a word for this kind of 'fun'.
At first, I thought it was an April Fool's joke and then I thought about it. No, it's just the special uniqueness of Japan.

You know, there are a lot of special snowflakes out there, but I really get the feeling Japan is one of the ones that would try falling in July...

I send you virtual hugs and kisses; by the way, just use the stuff I left there. The likelihood of me getting it anytime soon is nil and it seems stupid just to have you keep them there without usage. So usage!

And you sure? Like I said, it's not like it's eating up a lot of space or anything.

That said, you do seem to have some pretty rotten luck. Maybe it's working for the government (in the past) / usual uni admin problems + Japan = hell.

Although an Atlantic fastness would be breaking the mold, which we definitely excel at doing^^
