Official bitch about daily life in UL

Way down the bitching order in a healthy 19th, coupled with a 13th in happy thread,
The joys of possessing the inability to be angry for too long
I reckon if there is ever going to be a straw to break this camels back though,
It's going to have Bus Eireann printed on its side...

Always come across it on the stretch from the library to the Kemmy,
The long, relatively wide, stretch of path,
They congregate at about the hour mark, every hour,
Right in the middle, forcing people to walk to the grass/mud...
Then take off and leave when things start to die down...
Unpleasant...

And on another note,
Was it just me yesterday or have the buses gone up to €1.75?!

Conman bus driver c*nt!

The library is a joke. Just went in there and there wasn't one free seat in the whole place. Walked up and down each floor twice but every desk either had people on Facebook and watching movies or else there was just a laptop and books left on the desk with nobody there.

They need to add another 500 seats to the place.

With 500 new seats will come 200 leaving cert students to take them! :pac:

Just be a a dick walk up to someone on Facebook or Youtube and tell them to hop it

You do realise some people use Facebook for groups etc? I have CAD, Thermodynamics, Formula Student and Applied mechanics groups on Facebook. That's where we post announcements etc.

I doubt I'd take it too well if someone told me to get off the computer to let them on because they had been looking at what I was doing and felt they were more important.

Group. Projects. Bring. Out. The. Hater. In. Me.

I went in for 9 this morning, someone sat beside be at about half 9, left they're books came back at 12 and then turned the seat around and talked to a friend for a bit. She then got up and hadn't come back by the time I was leaving for a tutorial at 3. Head wrecking. It'll take them 20 mins tops to find a seat when they actually need it.

Agreed. Doesn't help that the guy I'm with is so terrible that I know I'm just going to end up doing his work and saying he did it so I get a decent grade.

Was in this situation last year. One lad refused to come to meetings and would only communicate via email, which when you're working on a complicated piece of sotfware with loads of different parts is less than ideal.

We asked to do a part of it, he sent us a file that wouldn't work. So in the interview with the lecturer, we said nothing. Then the lecturer asked him to show the pieces of code he had written. At which point he desperately searched the entire project folder for his file, but couldn't find it. At which point I said, "I told you we had to take it out because it didn't work." (which was true btw). Lecturer then asked him to explain a piece of code from the files and he hadn't a breeze.

So satisfying to see him squirm. The c*nt.

Anyone know who to talk to regarding taking up an extra module. My Academic advisor is a bit of a douche and just blew me off!

Normally the lecturer of the module in question plus the SAA
