The Most Unhelpful Help System Ever

I just spent twenty minutes trying to figure out how to reset my "forward" email system for my University Email, that I never use, but which the University sends out all "official" announcements to. It used to forward automatically to my regular email account, but having changed that email address, it now forwards to an address I no longer use (it was being spammed out!) I know that somehow you can set the forward preference. The "Main" menu of the university email helpfully tells me that the email forwards to that account that doesn't exist anymore, but NOT how to reset the address to my new address. There's NO info, anywhere. If you click on "help" at the top of the screen it tells you such useful info as:

Help:This is the Help feature. It is designed to be a quick way of getting information on using the various features of TWIG. For more information on how to use this feature, select "Using Help" from the Subtopic menu above.

But there is NO info on anything else. There are no options to, say, ask "help" about specific topics. Only the "help" about "what help is." Isn't that nice? Then, when you click on a different spot, you get this helpful message: "Help is not yet available on this topic."

And there's no place anywhere to email some tech support person. Sigh. I hate computers sometimes. Mostly I just hate those folks who make it IMPOSSIBLE for regular people to figure things out. I'm quite sure that if I drove the 2.5 hours to a computer lab on campus, I'd get someone there annoyed and busy to tell me something really helpful like "oh, you can only do that by standing on one foot while sacrificing a newborn rooster with an orange speckled feather on the night of the third full moon in May".

Groan. Sigh. Complain. Gnash teeth.

In other news, I've thought of the stories I will tell as reward to the two lucky winners of the Obfuscation contest. Those should come later today. I will also possibly post pictures of my newly repainted, newly redecorated bedroom. But I need to do a few things (like fold laundry-- I hate folding laundry) and then head to World Market to get a credit for the 20% off prices that appeared the day after I bought my bedding. So. Things to do. People to scowl at. Also, I heard from the Dissertation Director that she will be "Reading" my draft soon. Yay! Whether that is good news or bad will remain to be seen.
