It’s an Emergency! What’s your street address?

I was fiddling around on the GSU student website today and was told I couldn’t do certain actions because of a hold on my account. That hold, as it turns out, was due to outdated Emergency Contact Information. Fair enough… if I stumble down the stairs after a mind-numbing lecture, I definitely want the ladies of the Pink Pony to know I will be late for our nightly scheduled rendezvous.

So I proceed to the Emergency Contact Information page only to find that in addition to the name and number of Trixie (information which cost me big money to get in the first place by the way), they also wanted her mailing address. Not email. Street address. Let me get this straight? If there is an EMERGENCY dealing with me on campus they are going to pop out the Georgia State University stationary, write little miss Trixie a letter, slap on a 42 cent stamp, and drop it in the mail box? I know the post office claims to be fast but damn, I hope if I’m injured this information will make it out sooner than 3-5 business days.

It’s really just absurd. Trixie can’t even read.
