What's the story with the gym? Is it ever not wedged in the weights area ?

Usually calms down a bit after the first 4-5 weeks, best to go between 9am and 4pm.

Does UL have any sort of air conditioning in their buildings? Always so warm

Whatever about using my butter without asking, that I don't mind. It's a fairly big tub so a sandwich or two wouldn't make a big difference and whatever about leaving it out on the table instead of putting it back in the fridge but to whichever one of my housemates who used it, did you really have to make a big crater in the middle of it?! I mean, I know you don't know me (which actually makes you using my butter even weirder) but I have a slight touch of OCD and it's actually quite upsetting and stressful and I will most likely have to dump that and get a new one...

I'm going to assume it's whoever is putting their food in my cupboard too, despite having an entire spare cupboard in the kitchen.

That is absolutely hilarious

It's a library not a cafe, the feck is wrong with people. Just because you whisper doesn't make it less annoying. If ye want to have a chat, feck off to somewhere else. Between that and hearing other peoples music through their headphones. Do people have any manners? Argh!

Can't understand these people, I get super stressed out if I think my music is audible to others in the library.

Their parents didn't hit them hard enough I reckon.

I'm the kinda person who'll put on music and then take out the headphones and hold them away to see if anyone else can hear the noise. I get a few strange looks, but its better than having half the library hearing my music

Is anyone else not able to log into the coop noticeboard?

Thought it was just me, started to get a little worried! Still the same now though

EDIT: They appear to be sending out emails now instead if you're checking for interviews. Presume they'll do it til it's up again

:pac::pac: I do that all the time!! Every time I even change the volume I'll take them out to check that it's not too loud. The library seems to have gotten worse for people talking or else just every time I go up there's someone nearby nattering for a half an hour.

Suppose it's my own fault, I'm too much of a coward to tell them to shut up so I tend to give them annoy looks, not that they notice. What really annoyed me was seeing the security guards walk past these people and say nothing to them. In all the four years I've been here I don't think I've ever seen security tell people off. But seriously, it's a library you're not meant to talk. That fact that they have to put 'zones' around the library just goes to show how ignorant some people are.

My boyfriend used to work in the library last year putting books on shelves a couple hours a week. He loved telling people to shut up or get out. And then he reminded a 'student' or two that its a UL library and only registered students of the university are allowed in. Gob****es had their Castletroy homework journals out on the desk.

I think on Thursday, class resumes as normal from 3pm onward because I'm scheduled to give a presentation that day and the lecturer is definitely holding the lecture.

Everything cancelled till 3, depends on the lecturer after that.

Most will cancel, but the odd evil one (like one of mine :mad:) continue to run lectures etc after 3.

Some lecturers like to watch the world burn...

Rumour has it our FYP presentations are going to be slotted into the Open Days.

Bastards. :mad: :P

That's always the way it is. FYP presentations are bull**** anyway. I remember the people in mine weren't impressed with my presentation, yet the project got an A1A1 and won the IBM Open Source competition on demo day!

Would those eateries be in the marshes of mallow?

Ya know, marshmallow? Geddit? No? Okays...

jamo2oo9 · 06-10-2014 11:50AM

I'm sure they supply good quantity of mallow. You just to go to marsh to get the full package of marshmallow

Chris Martin · 06-10-2014 12:25PM

I'm from Mallow!!!

Except I'm in Seville now..
Coop...
Shame :P
Where are you working?? :P

Precious flower · 06-10-2014 04:48PM

So many unimportant emails that just clog up my inbox and drive me crazy on a regular basis!!

Also question: How do tutors decide who to give tutorial participation 10% mark to if the class is big and they don't know who each individual is? Do they just look at attendance (though that is usually done when the 10% goes for attendance rather than active participation).

We have one tutorial for another module that has no 10% this years but I go anyway because the tutor keeps her own attendance list so I feel that when it comes to marking essays tutorial attendance may be taken in to account.

Tell me more about its vibrant nightlife I hear so much of...:P

Ave Sodalis · 06-10-2014 07:08PM

Can anyone tell me what's the story with taking people's clothes out of the dryers? There's a massive pile of clothes now in Kilmurry Laundrette and my (still damp) clothes were thrown on top of it, so some of them ended up on the floor and I don't even know if I have them all with me! I know my dryer was opened before it was finished too, because I had it timed. Seriously lads, can ye not wait five f***ing minutes til it's done and collected?! Could ye not feel that they were still damp? :mad:

jamo2oo9 · 06-10-2014 07:20PM

Oops
