Well, the city of Lafayette, Indiana shut off our water earlier today because we had not paid, even though we had evidence of payment. It turns out that even though we had to go to the city hall and change our address in person, they did not update the online account number for us, and we actually paid into the old account. They found this and moved the money, but still didn't alert us NOR did they update the account number. We got no notices that our water would be turned off, and we had to fight them for a while to get it back on.
It seems someone in the city government didn't do their job, and that the IT infrastructure there is nonexistent.
We also have had issues with most other utilities here due to IT errors and complete technological ineptness.
I hate this place. There are over 200 excellent computer repair shops here, but it seems that no one can hire an IT guy that actually knows what they are doing! How counter-intuitive is that?!?

You have no idea how hard it is to hire good help these days.
When you were changing your address did you also change your name? That might add to the confusion.

I changed my name shortly before I posted. Had to do the same on Root Admin due to some account errors.

Considering it's right next to Purdue, you'd think there would be some candidates.

That's the problem. I don't think anyone from Purdue actually wants to stay in Lafayette... And the good ones would be way overqualified...

Don't be ridiculous. It's obviously your fault. You should apologise for thinking such things about such sterling chaps.

Have you seen what they pay in Indiana? There is a reason I have never taken a contract there.
