I have become grumpy

in my old age.

I found a hold on my account this morning. I owe the University too much money to register for the next semester's classes.

But the Pell Grants for poor slobs haven't been distributed yet. And the special loans reserved for people working their way through school haven't been certified. I qualify for both of these, which should bring my bill down to zero.

Scandal. Injustice. It's Just Plain Wrong.

So I printed out my account information and stomped up to Student Accounts and yelled in an un-raised voice ... (which is an art.)

I got them to take off most of the fees. We'll see about the rest. Or rather, they'll see. They'll all see, I'll show them, etc.
