The UC Davis ARC - attempting to gain entry I am informed of the degree of my subversion
On Tuesday, August 18th, 2009 I was once again trying to gain entry to the UC Davis ARC. . . Once again I was forced to jump through any number of ridiculous administrative hoops, incuding visiting no less than three desks before being allowed to enter, however, by far the greatest indignity was being forced to complete a highly detailed "profile" page with information including, Name, address, phone, email, etc. . . despite the fact that I (and all of my information) am already in the computer system and no one was ever going to look at my form again. . . As a result, I simply scribbled something quickly and illegibly in each "field" of the form and immediately handed it back to the person behind the desk. Initally off-put, they demanded that I redo the form so that they would be able to read it. . . Once I pointed out that they would not in fact require any of that information the person behind the desk simply shrugged in a sort of disgusted manner and looked at me in pity and said, "You are making a mockery of our system."
