What the everliving F*** is your problem? Pt.I

Why does my professional society keep changing their goddamned log-in instructions? It has changed again, from having just been changed just before they organised our annual meeting, and from when it was changed again at the end of last year around the time we all had to fucking renew our goddamned membership.

My username has gone from my Firstlife Surname, to my work email address, to my Firstlife full name, to my work username. My password has wandered from my 9 fucking digit membership number, to my email address and back again, as well as being, briefly, something of my own choosing.

Every time you get a new CIO you do NOT need to overhaul your fucking User Interface system. Fucktards.

Goddamn your fucking idiocy. And now I'm getting emails because they have the wrong motherfucking address on file! The quarterly newsletter, that had been coming to my NEW OFFICE THAT I'VE BEEN IN FOR 8 MOTHERFUCKING MONTHS is now being returned undelivered.

Two questions. Or statements. Your choice.

1. My old department know exactly where I am, so why don't they send it over? I am in the building next door you mentally crippled, ignorant fucksticks. Literally, laterally, 400 feet from where I was for four fucking years.

2. Why has my "address on record" suddenly reverted to my old lab address? Not three weeks ago I registered for the annual meeting. I had to confirm my current address and re-enter it three fucking times during the entire, overly complicated, marketing-dollar driven, miserable fucking experience. You shouldn't even have my OLD ADDRESS on file you fucking morons.

What the everliving fuck is your problem?

I believe it to be applicable.

Oh dear.

Amazingly enough, mail directed to me at my old department still reaches me, despite a change of surname and a 2 year gap during which I did not work in this building. Unfortunately it's mostly junk.

Glad to see I am not the only one who was whipped up into a homicidal frenzy last week. I hope things are better.
I had a similar problem with my bank, except out of the blue, they just started sending my statements to an address that didn't exist. I called and tried to change it month after month for four months, each time thinking that surely I had fixed the problem. Big surprise, they hadn't. Finally, I just closed my account. Two weeks later I received a debit card in the mail followed by a nasty letter saying that I owed them money for the "replacement card."

@XX: That's been happening with my VT cable bill. We nearly got disconnected recently. And now my credit card company has screwed up and says i owe them $600.

WTF!

Asshats. I have to spend an hour on the phone to fucking India to try and fix this now...
