It's already after school hours, so when I call 411 I get the voicemail. Luckily, when you call Verizon 411 they txt msg you the listing, which thankfully had the address, which was 1001Fubar Street. Crisis averted.

Moral of the story: Never trust your assigning website's addresses. Always look up the school's address on the school's website to verify.
And for all you military types this is FUBAR! Ouch!!

But now, we have GPS's which will put you in a snow bank for days or run you off a bridge - comforting!
