Orientation Guide

cooperguy

So is anyone going to be an orientation guide in september and wear those sexy yellow t shirts for the week??

kaimera

Guess my application was in a bit late so I won't be getting a t-shirt

Brendygg

I know a lad doing it, he got confirmation of it back in may.Im heading back dat week, cant week big sessions

cooperguy

Ya im doin it too it was a laugh last year. The only problem is the money you earn during the week is spent on drink before the week is finished.

Hasn't everyone?? Well you better get your drinking caps on so that you are ready for a BULBS in week 1 or 2... and no excuses this time round... or I might bet ban-happy!!! Be warned

None of us can wait. This place is so dead over the summer. And in about 6 weeks some new crowd are gonna come and kick us out of our lab

440Hz, I think a month long binge will be in order when I get this thesis done, so a BULBs session would fit in nicely there :cool:

ninty9er

yup. I'm doin it too, haven't gotten the details yet though, just got the request for availability email

I'm doing what I did last year - SU guide...all the benefits of orientation guide, minus the trekking about campus! except my voice was hoarse by wednesday, reduced to a husky whisper by lunchtime thursday, and inaudible by thursday evening. I lost it entirely. But definitely worth it! hip-hip hooray for first years!

There's only one of me! Well, there are 2 of us doing it this year, but we'll both be around at the same time! But I was the only one doing it last year, hence the lack of voice by the end of the three days!

Hey, who made you bos.....Damn!

No orientation guide for me either. Course no knowing where the Gym is, is quite the disadvantage

cooperguy

So there's only 3 boardsies doing orientation, shame on ye. We could have brain washed them into coming onto the UL board. I cant do it on my own

Ah well brainwash is sich a strong word, I preferer indoctrinate. I'll giv it a go wit my groups

440Hz

We could set up a Soc... the Skynet for cool nerds aka UL Boards.ie... for people who know how to use more than IE and word, and still know how to have a good time :P

Any takers??

Shyster

Im a guide too! Sorry, I don't know if I count, I only drop by to the UL forum every so often....ye all seem to know each other?!

Anyways, I'll be showing the innocents how to get lost in a few weeks hehehe

So there's 6 of us all togetherthat should be enough to spread the boardsie message further. And for god sake people tell your freshers that they should never EVER buy books thats what the library is for.

Lol well we don't go around wearing name tags...what we usually tell people is to look for the person in the trecnh coat, that being me. The rest are usually somewhere nearby.

See, no one backed you up...Now I'm even more wary of you "computer people". You'll be making all those binary jokes about having 101 bugs and then getting rid of one and whatever that leads to, and going on about that canteeny/restauranty/cafey place in the CSIS building, and on about maths modules and C++ and java and plug-ins and starting a linux vs windows debate or firefox vs IE and I'll be there with my HPSS background going "in 1492 COlumbus sailed the ocean blue" and "the battle of hastings was in 1066" and lots of other historical quirks.

How much do we need to pay you to make you show up so that you get the point WE ARE NORMAL-ish

Mostly normal yeah lol the only reason you won't survive a BULBS is due to excess alcohol consumption
