Renewed existence
I appear to have regained my identity with the university. Apparently this actually happened some time ago but almost simultaneous with my reinstatement, my password expired (I of course did not receive warning of this because my email wasn’t working) which meant that my account still didn’t work, but now for a different reason.
So the good news is that my email now works and that I can once again access the university wifi. The bad news is that I may have lost two weeks (give or take) of emails which may simply have disappeared into a black hole or may have been bounced back to the sender.
My appointment is still technically through Biology (rather than my new department) which is leading me to believe that my existence may suddenly cease at some point (with no warning, of course), and I’m basically giving up on using my UMD email account ever again. It’s all gmail for me from now on.
