    And they misprinted my fucking name. Even after talking with the woman in charge and her explicitly telling me that she would take care of it.

    Sorry to hear that. I almost had the same problem when I graduated high school, they got my name SO wrong it was unbelievable...luckily my mother had called them before they mailed it.

    Congratulations on getting your degree and sorry that they fucked it up. I guess you were able to get die Bibliothek Polizei off your case?

    Thanks. What kills me is that it was printed correctly in the graduation booklet.

    I sent a heated e-mail to the school.

    Someone made an honest mistake. If they're going to correct it, I don't see what all the hostility is for. Congrats on your degree. What did you get a degree in?

    I was going to ask if they couldn't just send you a new one 9at no cost to you.)

    LOL. You think what they did to you was bad? I think it was toward the end of my senior year in H.S. they came around to the homerooms to confirm how are names were to appear on our diplomas and my best friend shouted out my nickname. Ha ha. Figured the person writing this down would have been smart enough to recognize adolescent hi-jinx. Imagine my surprise at the ceremony when they call my name with that as my middle name. Imagine my parent's surprise too. Somewhere there may still be a picture of me trying to answer to my mother right afterward. I thought it was hysterical from the start. It's not everyone who has a legitimate H.S. diploma that looks like it came from a novelty store. big grin

    Congratulations on your degree.

    I would have called, and spoke to them directly, about that blunder.

    There was really no number I could have called. It was somebody in some office somewhere. No idea how to contact them outside of the e-mail they told us to use. I was pissed because I had a meeting with the person who was in charge. My name does have an unusual character in it, and after discussing it with her, she said she would make sure my name would be spelled correctly. So, really, she didn't do her job.

    Do tell, Alan - what was the nickname? I"m curious!!!

    Sorry about the mix-up Rockbird, but congrats on your degree. They don't have an office number or anything? That's really dumb!! I hope you get it all sorted out.

    Congrats on your degree. I would just e-mail them and ask them to correct the mistake and send you a new one.
