"IDs are set by IR. I cannot change the IDs since they are used to link all the databases. I assume you are not saying we need to modify the ID (the IDFamily field) to include "Pa" and "Pb" as part of the ID, right? But if we are not changing the basic IDFamily field how to we get the "new" ID into the system? If we are creating a second FAM ID (in addition to the original IR family ID), we need instructions for doing this."

Just… kill me.

Is this ShittyCMS?

This is ShittyCMS plus other things plus OurTechDept.

There are a shitload of moving pieces and I have no fucks to give to any of them.

TURDLES ALL THE WAY DOWN

Inextricable bullshit. Just one long, horrible cow turd all coiled up and tangled infinitely.

Yup.

Every goddamn thing to do with schools is a Gordian knot.

SLICE THROUGH WITH THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES

Just like the myth goes!

I'm pretty sure you can't do that in schools anymore.

"Hm… if I murder all the kids, the database will be empty!"

God, even that's not true.

I'd need to kill their parents, and all the alums, and all the parents of alums.

And all the faculty we've ever had.

"Man murders tens of thousands in effort to scrub databases"

In the end: Worth it. And easier than having a competent database system.

"DROP TABLE YOU;!"

Oh my god… if you die in real life, you die IN THE GAME!!!
