Irritated like hell

My mother is telling me my auntie (her younger sister) told her that one can go to the WDA website to sign up for subsidised comp courses, and the offer will end by end of this month.

I went to WDA website a few days ago as requested by my mother, and there's just nothing much there, except some corporation profile, as well as million of words with almost no proper paragraphing and no heading.

So I was on the line with my auntie and her daughter, and they kept telling me to find the 'computer' page on the main page.

No, it isnt there.

I explain it is not there, but there's only some links to go to the profile and etc.

"Oh, go to the main page." They say.

I was on the main page! There's nothing that says 'computer' that I can see, so I ctrl-f. No luck.

"Oh, go to the main page." They repeat.

I was quite sure it is embedded in one of those links, but I am not going to go clicking them one by one by one by one. I need to know the exact path. But where?

"Oh, go to the main page." They suggest.

I decided that it must be at WDA homepage> WDA Programmes > For Individual, and I clicked in. The stupid address reads "..../jobseekers" Tells a lot about the webpage designer no? Isnt it basic webdesign knowledge that you have to label you links and pages coherently?

No meh? Huh? Huh? Huh?!

Ctrl-f again for 'computer'. Not matched.

I literally begged that they read out the address of that page to me so that I can direct hit in.

"Oh, go to the main page." They droned.

I suddenly decided that to have my sanity intact, I have quickly end the call. I desperately kept the edge in my tone under control, and told them I will just tell my mother I cant find the page, and thanked them for their help.

The moment I hang up the call, I began swearing out loud.

I cant stand it!!
