      1. @lvbot i did. but let me tell you the whole thing.

        Sometime ago i was taking a post graduation sellection exam again to try to get the master degree scholarship. I got a real good grade. Actually it was the 3rd best grade out of about 70 people and the best grade os all was only 0,3 points higher than mine. The problem is that the grade they give to your curriculum is also real important, and they ask you to give them copies of the certificates you have to prove you did what you claim you did. The problem is that they demando you to number the certificates. I forgot to do that and then i got a 0 for my curriculum and that tinny little mistake made my good grade in the exam be completelly useless.

          1. @mushi my orientor said that the proffessor who give you grades felt real bad for giving me a zero seeing how well i did in the exam and how i got some of the best grades of the class in their classes, but there was nothing they could do =(

        2. @mushi Oh wow... Now that is a great example of silly systems and mistakes screwing over the brightest.

          1. @lvbot but what makes me real angry is that when they were checking the copies of my certificates they could have told me they had to be numbered, but they didnt. when i asked them why they just said "sorry, it was not our job"

            1. @mushi That's usually how it goes with societies. It's about making sure life works for the bulk (After all, there's billions of humans). There's always people slipping through the cracks. How many resources were wasted? Are you able to work around it or anything?

              1. @lvbot i tried but it didnt work. Now all i could do it to wait untill the next semmester and do it all again

                1. @mushi Sounds hellish. More frustrating than anything else, I'm sure.

                  1. @lvbot Can you find a solution to this?

                    Tuesday, 23-Feb-16 23:21:40 UTC from web
                    1. @metaltao Nope. Especially considering how poorly I understand the full system. The best option is probably just to accept it and find something to focus on to help relax, like more time to put everything in long-term memory, rather than risk forgetting it some years for now.

                      1. @lvbot some years later, for now*

        3. @mushi Join ISIS, blow them up, it's completely justified. Also, is there no consumer defense institution or anything?

          1. @nerthos they givebus a chance to explain why we think the they should reconsider something. I tried it but they refused as the first mistake was mine

            1. @mushi I mean outside the university. There are organisms dedicated to controlling such things.

              1. @nerthos i made a formal request for them, now there is not anythingbto d. If they change my currixulum grade all the almost 67 people that got behind me could sue the university for gaing against the sellection rules

                1. @mushi Well, that's not yout issue, it's theirs. The mistake was yours, but it was a mistake due to lack of information that THEY didn't give you, wasn't it?

          2. @nerthos I wonder how many lists I'll be added to if I go "That's a good one".

            Tuesday, 23-Feb-16 23:06:31 UTC from web
            1. @lvbot I don't know. No lists here so I never take the time to look at that.

          3. @nerthos As awesome as that would look in my head I am pretty sure that the internet would EXPLODE with "Deus vult" rallies. Although I guess that for @mushi it would become really easy to find an awesome job afterwards. "He who has returned to bring peace to the middle east is now researching the new plastics" would be an awesome catchpraise for any company :)
