No matter how you approach the future of education you’re always going to have a group of people who disagree with you. That’s great. That means you’re on to something. It’s when everyone’s in agreement you should be worried.

How To: Get Me to Hate Your Organization
Last Saturday morning I was woken at 9:45 by my doorbell. No one comes to our house that early, it could be an emergency I thought to myself, so I staggered out of my room. My room mate, in the same state (squinting eyes, wearing the pants from last night) was a step a head of me and opened the door. To our dismay we found no one, just a little, old man leaving the yard going to the neighbors house. We thought nothing of it except for how mad we were at this little, old man that got us with the ol’ ring and run trick. Back to sleep.
Two and a half hours later I finally woke from my sleep and decided to check the temperature before I left the house.

Defying All Logic
Sasktel, one of our local telecommunication companies introduced a new feature they called ebill. I’m sure you already took a stab at what “ebill” is, an online way to look at your monthly statements thus saving postage, paper and the company money in the long term. Great idea right?
It was a great idea until two months down the road my ebill account had been deactivated. Deactivated? Why? What reasoning did they go through to come to the conclusion that after 35 days of access to this online account they would need to deactivate it?
The first time I gave them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it was a security issue. I called and asked for them to reactivate my ebill account, they did and when I checked, it said “Expires in 35 days”. WHY? This defies all logic. Researching further I found that I need an “activation” code to activate my account, an activation code? I just got off the phone with the help desk guy and he didn’t think to tip me off about this activation code I’m going to need? I know it’s not his fault, someone has made a process that defies all logic. Continue Reading
