after the test?

[UNIQUE_NAME]

my son sent me this and i had to chuckle

he was filling out a state civil service test application. the site lists all the testing locations
in the state but states not all sites give all tests. they allegedly send you to the closest open site to your zip code.
his school is a testing site. the next closest is 3 hours away.
he went to the FAQ's to get an idea when he would find out where he's testing.



Q: I filed for an examination, but I haven't heard where to appear to take the exam?

Notice to appear for the test may be conditional as review of applications may not be made until after the test.
If you have not received your notice to appear for the written test three days before the date of the test,
please phone the Arrangements Unit of the State Department of Civil Service.

For those of us who work with the government, this all seems perfectly normal. Good luck on the test. If he can figure out where to take it in time.

This is so broken.

Well, I can't argue with logic like that.

You are WRONG, my friend. Try customer service at ATT/DirectTV or most any computer company or most any .... (fill in your favorite(s)).
