I am terribly confused. When I tried to get on LJ this AM it said I was using the wrong password. I tried everything I could think of, to no effect. I finally changed it. Just now, when I tried to log back in, it wouldn't let me use the newer password, but instead took the older one that I changed from. Just what I need.
And I got a note from the teacher at UNC saying that I should be able to sign up for my campus account to get my classwork on BlackBoard. Whee! Except it said I needed a "PID" to set up an account. Ooooookay. I pulled out the letter I got from UNC saying I was accepted as an InterInstitutional Registration. Nothing on there about a "PID." I wrote to the ITS ppl, asking for help setting up the account. Fine, they said. Send us your PID. Finally I took a flyer and put in the "SID" number from the registration letter into the "PID" box. Success. Am I the only one here who does not automatically assume that a "PID" is the same as an "SID?"
Massive sigh.
