D@lhousie#1

So I've been getting e-mail after e-mail for the past few weeks from Dalhousie University (who gave me two degrees in exchange for about $60,000, my left leg and my first born.) Basically they're telling me my password for my Dal e-mail account is too old, kinda like the administration.

So I go in to try to change it. I like to keep my passwords pretty simple to I change it to something short and memorable. I don't know why I bothered. I don't even use the address anymore except to get notifications from Career Services about upcoming jobs, which are never particularly lucrative and which I'm not even sure I signed up for. Anyways, I get a big error message saying my password is not the REQUIRED 8 character minimum. Ok, back to the drawing board.

I come up with something that's 8 characters long. ANOTHER error message comes up. Apparently it doesn't contain a capital letter. That's right, a CAPITAL LETTER! How many passwords have you had that has had to contain a capital letter?

Moving on, I put a god damned capital letter at the beginning of it. ANOTHER error message comes up. My password did not contain a number........ yes, a number. So I stick a 1 on the end of it. Another error message? You betcha! My password did not contain a SYMBOL!

Let's take a minute to recap here. In order for me to change my Dalhousie e-mail password, my new password had to:
1. Be at least 8 characters long
2. Contain a capital letter
3. Contain a number
4. Contain a symbol

By this time I'm just typing in random number and symbols just trying to make the damn thing shut up and stop sending me notifications to change it. So I end up throwing something random in there which I'm sure contained all of the required elements. It processes! Hooray! Now if only I could remember what I wrote. No fear, I'm sure they sent me an email confirming my NEW password so I can throw it in a Saved Messages folder to come back to and retrieve when I need it. Right? WRONG!

The only thing I get is a message stating "Thank you. Your password has been changed. Please allow a few minutes for the change to take effect." What it should have said was "Thank you. Your password has been changed. Good luck trying to remember it. You like that excruciating process punk? Do ya? Love, Dalhousie University. Making your life difficult since 1999. xoxo."

I would just like to take this time to say I will no longer be using my Dalhousie email account. It only sends me garbage and the only reason I even went through with that stupid process was so that I could still have access to MyDal where they keep my transcripts , which are fantastic by the way.

So there you have it. Kiss my butt Dalhousie. You'll never get another penny from me.
