It hasn't even started yet...


And I'm already busy as hell. WTF?!



Days are spent running my ass of to get things done.
Packages delivered, messages sent, motors tested.
Robot design is in full swing.
Construction is on hold due to those BASTARDS in adminstration. More on that in a bit.
School starts on Tuesday.... [best Monty Python voice] yeaaaaa..... [end MP]



Here we go. I go to talk to the people in charge of the machine shops. They say, "No you can't work in the shop until you take a $150 class where spend a full morning (8-12) for a whole week with us in shop. Okay. Hoop #1 is doable. Another Jeff and myself decided to do it. We sign up for the class. And the day arrives to pay for said class. I whip out my check book and... what? I can't write you a check? I have to have a school ACCOUNT number?(Hoop #2) Wait, my student account right? No?! What type? A FACILITY MEMBER NUMBER?!(Hoop #3) How do I get one of those? I have to be WORKING FOR A PROFESSOR?(Hoop #4) Wait, why didn't I know this before? Oh, the administration DIDN'T TELL ME? I see. Thank you... I go back to the guys who sent me to this guy... Hey, I couldn't take the class because of Hoop 2-4. Too bad kid. And you know what? Even if you took the class, I DIDN'T HAVE TO AND WASN'T GOING TO LET YOU USE THE SHOP ANYWAYS. I go talk to the heads of departments... Oh, I don't handle this. Go talk with the guy who just blew you off. I go talk to different guys who are maintenance folks about a shop I KNOW hasn't been used in YEARS. Can we use it? Flat out NO. And then those assholes LAUGH as I walk away.



A big FUCK YOU VERY MUCH to all ADMINISTRATION types involved in this clusterfuck. You've made my days a living hell. Screw off.



I feel: Pissed as hell >=(
