deadline, schmedline, and that woman in smeaton building..YES YOU!!!
I decided to put this in a separate blog entry purely because I believed this rant deserved to be stood out on its own. The hand in system in the technology department really really sucks. The woman there is consistently very rude, abrasive and does not even attempt to answer any questions asked. Fair enough, shes having a lousy and busy day, but it seems to be any day we hand in our coursework. To illustrate the point, we wanted to hand in our CNET113 coursework and because it is such a large number of paper I enclosed it into an envelope to ensure they dont fall out. Stapling them would be out of the question as the paper we used was the thicker variety hence stapling would not penetrate through all of the papers. What does she do, she tells me to staple them and doesn’t answer my question about the front sheet signing as its the first time we have handed the group work via this method. So I go away with all stubborness to prove the point, stapled it…which didn’t staple them all together anyhow…sealed the envelope. Took it back and she started whining bout the envelope…she said she wanted to take it out, because it will fall out when it comes out of the envelope, what about all the plastic folders people use!!!! She patronised me to say, oh thats why you don’t want me to take it out of the envelope…I mean jeez woman!!!! We are nervous enough as it is handing in the coursework without you sending people half across the campus in hunting for a stapler and to then turn around patronise people about how they hand in work, despite the fact she contradicts herself when it comes to different folders being used to submit the work in.
Get a new system in place…or improve it!!!
Ok I have my moment of rant. Thanks for listening.
I have problems with her all the time. Cause our CNET stuff was group work I missed signing the front sheet. I went in about half hour after Andi handed it in to go sign it and she said ‘I can’t do that I’m too busy.’ I could see it in the pile! When I told her I could grab it myself and do it she then said ‘There’s too many people handing work in, I don’t have the time to find it.’ I was the only person there :/
Posted 2 years, 7 months agoI so know what you mean…I think it’s something we need to bring up with Chris. It is annoying…by the way are you going to the do on sunday? I was chatting to Ken, Claudia and her other half…and I think we are all going. Come along if you can…maybe then we can finally have that year sort of get together, though I imagine most people are going home…I’m gonna try and rally the people on my msn over.
