Let me guess, they don't give you anything to protect it either so it will get mangled by the baggage handlers on the flight home?

I wonder why it didn't occur to him that 1) he was NOT supposed to bend it, and 2) he could simply call in my house - I was home at that time.

Did you contact the SOA? They will replace it if damaged in the mail. A former co-worker got a *clean* one on the 3rd try.

FSA's in cubes? Aaaarrrggggh!

Just got mine today and its ripped. but i don't really care, its not worth the effort to request another one. i'm going to ask another guy in the office (who's now an FSA) if i can take his framed ASA and just tape mine on the glass and count it as framed. otherwise its going on the bulletin board!

Almost everyone is in cubes at my company, but the ASAs and FSAs have much bigger ones.

I got my diploma yesterday and I thought the same thing. My high school diploma and the diplomas for my university degrees are alot more impressive-looking.

I was surprised that there wasn't some sort of seal on it - a gold sticker imprinted type or even just an imprint in the paper.

hey, if it wasn't ripped/bent/folded/charred count yourself lucky!
