REPORT: Google Sheet Still on “Read Only”

Students in a Texas A&M student organization have repeatedly found it impossible to sign-up to bring a food item to the upcoming social event thanks to an error in the form’s sharing settings. After two days of waiting and numerous complaints filed through the organization’s GroupMe, it appears that the sign-up sheet for the Wolf Pen Creek social is still inaccessible by those trying to fill it out.

After being tagged multiple times in the GroupMe, Madeline Abbasi, senior international studies major and Internal Events Chair, commented on the technological issue. “Okay, it should work now,” Abbasi said. General members maintain that this statement is false.

After a series of attempts to resolve the issue, Abbasi instead abandoned the form and asked participants to text her individually with their name and what they would like to contribute to the potluck. Abbasi apparently prefers this solution to Google searching the three keystrokes that will make the Google Sheet editable.

At time of press, it is unclear how Abbasi was able to achieve the high rank of Internal Events Chair when recent circumstances have made it obvious she lacks basic computer skills.
