Instead of waiting for the next bus, I walked to a county office.
> Sorry, we don't do that at this location. You have to travel ~35 miles to the nearest location that handles that.
The positive thing is that they did have fee waiver paperwork that may save me about $500 when I find a way to get there. -

When searching, the results page says "Did you mean 'baseball'?" and gives results for that term. You have to click "Show results for 'Baxball' instead." or you won't find what you're looking for.
I'm a #baseball fan, but I'd like to learn more about #cricket. Do you have some suggested resources? -

Apparently, they've been losing money for a while, even after laying off almost all their staff.
I just paid for another year in July, but will probably not receive a refund.
The timing is bad, because there's no budget for hosting (or anything else) right now.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

If they just talked about it in general terms and said whom to contact in case of any issues, it would be good. But they say "the Blah Blah act of 1867 requires these specific things" and then test you on whether you remember the specific law that requires something.
That's idiotic. I need to know the requirements and how to comply ... put all that extra stuff in an optional "for further information" page.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -

There's supposed to be 8 hours of coursework. I don't know if I'm going to make it. $EMPLOYER's mandatory courses are so dry and uninteresting ... and often devoid of any real value except as "you took the course, so you knew better, now we can punish you".

It's one thing if you're in your home playing a 3D game. It becomes quite different if you're going out into the world wearing ugly and obviously expensive glasses / goggles.In conversation from nu.federati.net permalink -
