Hey peoples!
To begin, I would like to share my recent email exchange with Northwestern University. I BCC'ed my roommate on this, and he insisted that I show this off to the rest of the interwebz:Dear Matthew Ryd,
In the last week, you have been asked to complete the on-line COFHE
Senior Survey. As co-chairs of the Senior Class Council, I want to
encourage you to complete the survey if you haven't already. Getting
information from us - the senior class - will help the administration
make important changes that can only help to make Northwestern a better
place. The deadline for responding is May 8th. To access the survey,
please click on the following link:

This is a unique link assigned to you. For this reason, it is very
important that you do not share it or forward this e-mail to anyone
else.
Thanks and I look forward to seeing you at many of the Senior Week Activities.

Chair Senior Class Council---------------------------------------- Dear Senior Class Council,
I have no interest in filling out the
Northwestern Senior Survey. I have been a student at Northwestern
since 2003, and in that time, I have filled out far more surveys than I
can remember. The topics have ranged from the quality of dining hall
food, to my opinion on the policies of Residential Life, to a
questionnaire designed to ascertain the student population's opinion of
the repeated write-in campaigns for "Dickie Humps" and the
appropriateness thereof. After a long and arduous time spent at
Northwestern, having fought through several hospitalizations and come
back from an extended medical leave to finish my degree, I feel like I
have earned the right to no longer spend my valuable time clicking
checkboxes on Internet surveys. I assure you that I have received and
read all of your previous reminders, and that my lack of participation
is not a result of ignorance about the existence of this survey. I
know that it is there, and I am opting out. Kindly stop sending email
reminders, as, by doing so, you are only further tarnishing my view of
Northwestern, thereby assuring that if I ever took leave of my senses
and completed the survey, that my answers would be so profoundly
negative that they would send the entire staff and faculty into
disarray and likely bring tears to Henry Bienen's eyes.
Best,
Matt Ryd-------------------------------- I have yet to receive a response. If they send another automated reminder, I intend to create my own websurvey, and insist that they complete it as a show of good faith before I will consider complying. It's the principle of the thing, people. ;-)
And, as promised, here's the "I'm sorry that the Double Door's pipes burst in the middle of freakin' April" video. It's a new song called "Impression," and this is a special sneak preview of new-album material!
Rock on,
Matty
