   For those of you that attended the show and took classes, have you received your email about the survey you must complete or your points will get deleted? They no longer give you a paper survey at the end of class it's now emailed with a dead line...
   
   Am I the only one that his aggravates? Is it not enough I shelled out nearly $2000 to attend the conference, pay my dues, paid for the classes, attended the classes and now if I don't jump through this hoop I will not get the points I EARNED and PAID for?

   Curtis, it is simple. I have already completed 2 of my 3. You get an e-mail, answer a few questions and you are finished. I wondered as well but it is very neat and clean.

   Since I responded, I have completed the final survey and half of my time was waiting for our site to come up. Very easy!

   No problems with my surveys, AND my points are already posted onto my transcript (This really surprised me!)Way to go GCSAA! I received my first one yesterday and I just finished my fourth and final one about two hours ago. They are using SurveyMonkey, and the format was very straightforward. No worries here!

   Clearly I should have actually completed a survey before railing against it...very fast and clean, infact it took me longer to post the above than to take the survey... however...I dont like the idea of them eliminating the hard copy of the class material as intimated by the survey. I like to have those handbooks for my library

   Curtis, I agree with you on the class information. I have gotten to the point that anything requiring me to create a new password, I just don't do it. I have to write down all of my passwords at work because they don't allow you to duplicate. I just don't feel like creating any new ones. I will just do without the information if it comes to that!

   Sandy:
   
   If your system is like ours just adding a number at the end of the password makes the system happy. When I am asked to update my password it goes from qwerty to qwerty1 and everyone is happy. It seems like once I am up to #9 the system then lets me revert back and start over.

   Tom,
   
   I just recently started doing the same thing. Keeping eveything the same and just changing the number at the end seems to do the trick. In our system we still have a minimum of 6-7 passwords with e-mail, payroll access, budgeting, purchasing etc. Now I at least have a shot at remembering some of them as most require changing every 3-6 months here.
