If there is one thing that I can say irks me, it is the fact that despite how hard I and indeed my fellow students work, the University just doesn't seem to care.
Allow me to explain.
Studying architecture, obviously we have to produce drawings that are then printed on large sheets of paper.
I went in today to print my work off ready for a tutorial tomorrow, only to discover that the printer had run out of paper, and furthermore that there were no more rolls of paper in the building!
Now, fair enough, there are occasions when this will happen, but this must be about the third time in a month it has happened, and it just isn;t good enough. I don't know who is responsible for organising paper orders and deliveries, but I'd bet they couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery.
They must know when the paper is running out; they must know from experience how quickly it gets used. So why on earth do they not think to either a) order more when they place an order, so it lasts longer, or b) place an order a few days before they know they'll run out.
This ineptitiude does two things: firstly it gets me so annoyed that I am in no mood to actually do any work, secondly to even consider that such an august organisation as a university could foul up in this manner gives me a migraine.
Now if this paper isn't here tomorrow I will give my tutors a piece of my mind...
