Monday, decided to go and get the certificate for my health insurance back home, walked to the office and surprise surprise, they had lunch, how the hell I managed to pick the hour they had lunch. Went back later, got my certificate, so up the hill, to the library to scan it in, everything went well until I wanted to log into my mail to check if the scan got there or not, surprise surprise, my laptop won't connect the uni network, tried switching wifi on and off and again and again, nothing, obviously I had lecture in less than half an hour, so quickly to this IT helpdesk, grab the number, bugger, 3 people before me, waited there, swearing in my mind that why did one guy managed to pick the number 2 seconds before me and why is the queue moving so slowly. Someone got their things done and another guy came to serve, so yaay, oh no, I was wrong as he suddenly goes to help the other one, noooo, we do not help the other person here, I have a lecture to attend and I need my laptop fixed before in case the lecture is boring and I need to surf the Internet. Phew, finally they were both dealing with different people and It was my turn soon, so I tell what's my problem and he asks when did I last used the uni network, um, end of the last academic year, and he asks me again when did I last used it, gees, before summer obviously if it was at the end of the last academic year, how is that so hard to understand now? So my user was blocked, why oh why, he first tells me to wait for 15-20 min and try again, and if not to go back, but then reckons he could do everything he can straight away, halleluujah, why would I wait and come back if the problem can be solved now.
To the next annoying thing, had a dissertation fair in my department today, so we were supposed to go and ask people who are related to our topic about our dissertation, surprise surprise, none of the lecturers related to my studies/dissertation were there and wait, it gets better, they are all on research leave or sabbatical, great, I just don't have anything else to say other than amazing, how I'm supposed to get some good advice now??? So annoyed with that, first of all got up for nothing and secondly, how do they let people in the same area leave at the same time? Bring on some war or theory or intelligence adviser for third world dissertation then!!!!!!!!
