Oh, and to elaborate on the qualifications, I was required to have a master’s degree for this position, and I’m directly involved in conservation work (biodiversity studies, data recovery and preservation, and environmental monitoring) of a kind that has never, ever been done on federal land. I’m writing and executing policy and procedures that will affect the way natural resources in this country are handled for the next 50 years. You’ll have to pardon me if I resent the implication that the park rangers - the professionals that are actually on the ground stopping poaching and enforcing conservation policy, and that sometimes die in the line of duty - are somehow ciphers or less than honorable.
Congrats HeartofGold. Glad to hear that they’re willing to admit their SNAFU. Too bad you wern’t pitting Unreal Tournament, though. I hate that game

Well crap…I was going for 4…I just can’t get anything right.
Man, HoG, I couldn’t relax and believe I’d graduated until I got my actual UT degrees in my hot little hands. (Even after I’d sat through a 3.5 hr long Liberal Arts graduation!)
I just kept expecting them to send me a letter after the fact and say, "Your application for graduation is denied. You are missing 3 hours of Elective coursework… "
Don’t even get me started on how UT sent back my financial aid check a week before school started without nary a phone call or letter or notification of any kind, cuz the idjits added three semesters’-worth of aid together and said I’d been over-awarded… I guess they just shrugged and returned a $10,000.00 check to the bank it came from…
Remind me to tell you the whole story sometime. I panicked initially, but it turned out to be pretty funny in the end.
