be rectified until I provided tangible proof of address. Those are the rules. Such incidents, where rules have to be followed to the letter, are exasperating. Of course, it could
be said that-like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz-I had the power all along. There were things I could have done. In some way, my feelings of powerlessness were internal

one that was laying around and began to show wear. I could have asked to speak to her supervisor. I could have been nicer and very polite. It seems that
