The length of a day - further adventures

Original message of Oct. 26. Click on image to enhance.

Earlier we posted about the adventures of Yours Truly trying to deal with the new UCRAYS online system. When he filed an inquiry on October 26th, an email came back promising a response within five business days. See http://uclafacultyassociation.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-length-of-day.html. Apparently, business days are longer than ordinary days because it was not until November 15th that Yours Truly got an email directing him to look for a response in the older AYSO system:

Why go back to the older system for the message? Not clear. But Yours Truly soldiered on obediently and found that even with the correct ID and password, the older system could no longer "authenticate" him.

Verification of the ID, getting a temporary password through a smartphone, putting in the last four digits of Social Security number and date of birth just produced the same message as above. Moreover, attempts to get into the newer UCRAYS account - which had worked originally to start this sequence of events back on October 26th, now also produced the unable-to-authenticate message.

Stay tuned for further adventures.
