Library site is so annoying. It won't recognise my username/password so I can't renew the book I took out

Happened to me too...anyone else in the same boat? Well more so when I try to reserve it book, it just says action not available, even though there's 5 copies for s-lending.

Anita Blow · 12-11-2011 10:38PM

I'd ask in the library but the guy behind the counter in the Hamilton scares me

Well if none of those 5 copies have been taken out, the system won't let you reserve a copy; AFAIK you can only reserve a book when all the lending copies are already taken out. Then, when a copy comes back into the library, it's set aside for you. If the five copies are sitting on the shelf, then you have to get yourself in & get hold of a copy the old-fashioned way.

Thanks! I'd no clue. My class generally uses the same 3 or 4 books so they're never in. First time that I've tried to get one that was available immediately :P

Haven't studied at all the past two days and won't get anything done today because I didn't get any sleep last night so I'm exhausted. Bleh. This coming week will be intense.

<snip> is annoying, and the lecturer is lazy as ****. Second year, and he's doing the exact same as last year - using slides he didn't create or add anything to, and just reading them off and hoping that we'll somehow muddle through the tutorial questions and actually do some learning when he's not around. Senior Lecturer? **** Lecturer.

it printed every second slide!
THE GOD FORSAKEN PRINTING SYSTEM IN THIS STUPID COLLEGE HAS COST ME 8 EURO FOR A NONSEQUENTIAL HALF OF MY NOTES!

Have you emailed Richo? I emailed them a few times when my notes failed to print/came out monsterish. They put money back into my account every time!

Oh, ho. Those ****ers owe me at least 20 quid. Definitely gonna take note from now on.

Lawliet · 20-11-2011 10:46PM

They'll hardly do refunds for when pages print single sided when you wanted double? That's been seriously burning through my money of late...

Maybe_Memories · 21-11-2011 12:51PM

My pages are coming out single with the whole thing squashed into the bottom left of the page. :pac:

blubloblu · 21-11-2011 11:47PM

If people keep getting their messed-up printing refunded, they'd have a better incentive to get it fixed!

Any equipment that requires earmuffs by the users, should NOT be operated before 9AM...

Stupid ****ing leafblowers at 8 o clock this morning..

Still better than your nextdoor neighbours playing dance music at full volume until 3am, with a half 6 start

Squash colours match tomorrow and I'm after having to pull out injured due to my own stupidity :mad::mad::mad::mad:

What gob****e keeps robbing the yokes which make the keyboards sit up at an angle?

languagenerd · 29-11-2011 05:32PM

Spanish department told half my class today (not the half I'm in) that they've changed the assessment for 3rd years so now we have two exams next week that count towards our degrees! :mad: I assume the rest of us will be told tomorrow... 6 days notice! And one of them is on something we haven't done since last April too :mad:

Brian · 29-11-2011 07:01PM

Can't go to the Little Dragon gig tonight because (a) was in college until 6.30 with some group presentation session and (b) have to get something done for my FYP meeting tomorrow morning... I guess it was only €17 but that's quite a lot of pizza.

Do Any of the printers on campus print double sided when you ask them to?

I heard someone say they print double when you try to print them single sided, have yet to test this out though

Exams in a week and a half and I can't sit for more than 20 mins, damn back, should be interesting........ :mad:

Still waiting for draft feedback..

Lab oral exam was dire, mind went completely blank.

I only ever take one. At least I'm somewhat considerate

languagenerd · 06-12-2011 11:20AM

Ugh, fell asleep again after my alarm today, left the house 20min late and then missed TWO Luases (they were one after the other because that's bloody logical, right?) because the lights were red and I couldn't get across the road to run for it :mad:. And then realised I'd forgotten my mp3 player and would have to listen to everyone on the Luas talking rubbish for 35min. Utter failure of a morning...

The Black Oil · 06-12-2011 01:41PM

If you're on the DART and not plugged in, you hear people's life stories, it's so quiet if it stops in the middle of nowhere for a few minutes. I presume the LUAS is similar.

Motivation is not happening today.

Haha, no, the Luas is quite noisy at rush hour, tons of people all trying to talk over each other. And you get the junkies too. Last week, the guy behind me randomly burst into a song of his own creation, including the lyrics: "I smoooooke weed everydaaay, and it makes me haaaappy!"

The library is not a place where you can stand around and have a chat... take your conversation outside ffs! :mad:
