- Ah, happiness is made of small victories. The other day I had
- occasion to go to the RPI bursar's office to find out the status of a
- refund I was expecting. They way the inquiry screens were
- (dis)organized, the clerk helping me needed my student ID three times.
- The first two times, she asked for my "sosh"[sic] and I replied, "My
- student ID number is ....". The third time she actually asked for my
- student ID! Of course, I'm sure she asked the next person she helped
- for his or her "sosh".<sigh>
