Ah, the irony of final at a school run by incompetent bureaucrats!

So I was trying to print some image for a project, and of course since its the last few days of finals everyone is jam packed into the computer lab trying to finish their final papers. So I printed one flyer, nothing. Having had similar problems in the past I printed it to another computer printer, still no luck. Ok, I have seen this before, no sweat. Then a few minutes later one of the girls from the lab tells everyone that the printers are down--across the entire university--and hopefully they will be back up in about 10-15 minutes, she says with a hesitation.

And it's also rather ironic, sitting here in the 3rd floor computer lab where every pole has the words QUIET please printed on them in huge letters--meanwhile the sound of hammering, pounding and construction work has been going on for the last hour directly behind on of the corner lab walls, making it completely impossible to concentrate.

Oh, and did I mention I have been sitting on a milk crate for the last hour because the only free computer I could find had no chair at it...

Ah, how I love the new school.
