Official bitch about daily life in UL

This is one of the most :mad:ing stupid things I have come across in this :mad:ing place.

I'm in the library printing out pages, clickity-click, go in to collect them and there are 28 pages waiting for me telling me that the job was cancelled due to lack of funds.

28 :mad:ing pages wasted just like that.

How the hell can that happen? This place is unbelievable for waste.

Surely if I'm low on funds the print jobs shouldn't be processed?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

it has probably cost UL more to print those pages than it would to print the pages you wanted!! :rolleyes: stupid!

And just as stupid as returning after the summer to find your student mail in-box full - usually with messages from the 'system supervisor' telling you that your in-box was full! I had 67 of those once, always wished I could reply, if only to ask 'why do you think that is then?

To bring the thread back on topic a little bit...what the feck happened to O Mahoney's?!

It's so tiny now. The book rush is going to be MAYHEM. :mad:

They couldn't afford to keep the two units.

I have to agree that they have been overcharging students for a long time, and it came as a massive surprise to me about 3 weeks ago when I saw a sale on in there [Yes I said a sale]. They were offering 25% off all Law Books. I was shocked! :eek:

Defo all outta date! I had freinds who bought law books at the start of the semester and had to buy a newer edition for repeats!

Mossin can bitch about his Thesis for as long as he's writing it. I came on to this thread to feel some solace in the fact I'm not the only one who's pissed at UL. And that was ruined. Grrrrrrrr.

My bitch? The library's stupid opening hours. And people ruining the Irish right to be feckin' miserable.

Brought the printer thing to the attention of one of the library staff today. To say they were completely uninterested is an understatement.

She said that students should check their balance before every print job :rolleyes:

I said that if there is a problem with the printer the job goes in a queue, why not have it set the same so you'd get a dialogue box if you were out of credit?

Because that's not the way it works
\brick :mad:in' wall.

One of those moments where you either say :mad: this and walk away or flip a lid and start screaming:D

Lol, I had a giggle about that alright, but you eventually made it!

It was nice to meet you as well!!

Btw, you are not the 1st person to get lost trying to find our house. CSON even got lost leaving our house going back to college accommodation! :rolleyes:

Is Outlook down for anyone else? Can't get onto student mail at all

YFlyer · 31-08-2010 07:47PM

The guy next to me in the post grad lab is leaving off some disgusting silent farts. Can he not just go to the bog and get it over and done with.

Gael23 · 07-09-2010 12:41PM

After 40 mins i was only half way through the Q at SAA when I realised I had to make my way to a lecture. Got there 2 mins late and the lecturer wouldnt let me in

entropic · 07-09-2010 12:45PM

A four hour computer lab at 9am on the second day is more annoying than anything

skeleton_boy · 07-09-2010 01:12PM

Wtf is up with not being able to access timetables off campus?

AlwaysRight · 07-09-2010 01:46PM

Nothing on the UL website works using the Thomond Village internet. Timetables, lecture notes, student records, none of it. Its really frustrating to have to go back into the library to do any of that stuff. And I'm not the only one, its happening to loads of people in thomond that I asked. Dunno whats going on.

this worked for me in dromroe:

In Internet Explorer, got to Tools, Internet Options, Connections, LAN Settings,
and enter the following:

Address: student-proxy.ul.ie
Port: 8080

and tick the box 'Use a proxy server for your LAN'
Then click ok, ok again.

ninty9er · 07-09-2010 09:01PM

Forgot completely about the proxy, and LOADS of people have asked!

pure stupidity on my part not to think of changing those settings! Done now and all is jolly!

Cheers!

He doesn't take any crap in lectures, and can be pretty intimidating, but yeah. I had a brief chat with him outside the lecture, I think I was asking him about the project or something, and he couldn't have been nicer

Daisy Steiner · 08-09-2010 04:38PM

Since when has it been ok for people to have full blown top of the lungs conversations in the library? :mad:

STFU!
