"Today was a terrible day because..."

@Desolate Divine Omg that sounds so frustrating! Admin stuff is the worst, seriously. My uni is just as bad, especially since they got rid of all the help staff from each department and made a central hub where you have to go for everything. So no one is an expert in anything there and you always get the wrong info. It's just so dumb.

On a related note I'll tell you guys about the dumb thing that happened at uni recently. They decided to replace all the printers with new ones run by a different company, took all the old ones away... And after that no students could print (postgrad students make up 80% of the department...) because the office hasn't organised any print credit for students. So for two weeks we couldn't print anything and then Monday I get an email from the department office asking for my student number so they can add me to the "allowed to print" list... This is the bloody admin office for my department and they can't access everyone's student numbers?!?! So dumb. I forgot to reply to out until today and then I got an email back saying they had managed to find my student number (as if that was so difficult when you have access to the student database) so it was all sorted...

Bureaucracy is the enemy of common sense, I swear xD

Haha "bureaucracy" along with a sigh has become a saying in my department xD There was also an Aussie comedy made about it called Utopia. It was on Netflix. It's pretty funny. xD One was about the marketing area wanting to update the office's logo for no reason, causing a bunch of other issues that could have been totally avoided. It's all so true!
