Bureaucracy SUCKS

We all wonder why it is that ever year or so some college student goes on some killing spree on some campus. Well, wonder no more. It is because of stupid bureaucracies. First you have to go to window A and get this paper signed, then go to Office B and fill out that paper, then go to building P and pay for that paper, now return to Office B t only to find that you were supposed to go to Window A, do all of this just to register and wait in thirty or fourty minute lines each time.
I want to register for two classes that are my pre-requisites for the Teacher Education program. Before I can register I have to have fingerprint clearance through the Federal government, (one trip to the Office of Education and one 60$ money order), then I have to get cleared through the County of Imperial (another trip and another 60$ money order), next I have to get a TB test ( one trip to get jabbed and 20$ to the county health office, and another trip 2 days later to get it checked, then back to the Office of Education to turn that in) Then Back to the Ofice of Education with the 50$ paperwork processing fee, (then I was eligible to be a substitute teacher), now I need to acquire (big word, they say "you gotta get") Professional Liability Insurance. I ask where do I get it, she tells me that she will send me an email because telling me the web address is too long and students have problems with it. So, sends me an email with an address (http://www.nea.org/student-program/), no where on this page does it say anything about Professional Liability Insurance. If you run a search you find something that might be right, but it doesn't matter because I need to talk to one of their insurance specialists anyway, (I can't just buy a policy online and print of proof, Like she told me I could.). I need all of this to try and get into two prerequisite classes for a program that I have already taken four classes from. To further the torture, you have to call the school and get permission to enter these classes. Not for the rest of the classes, just these classes.
Now, you too can understand, why student take rifles into clock towers. Not that I would, but now I understand. I even feel sorry for all the other students.
