Fuck UQ

I'm at work and I don't intend to make a habit of posting from 'work', i.e. where I'm working on my honours this year, but I just wanted to register my utter pissed-off-ness with UQ and their fucking slow enrolment. I only just got my confirmation of enrolment on Wednesday, more than a month after personally taking in not one but two applications (the first one went 'missing) and went in to replace my student card that expired in November. My courses hadn't appeared in my enrolment yet so I still technically wasn't enrolled and couldn't get a new student card. Ditto on Friday.

This morning on the CityCat was the second time I came across Brisbane's most anal conductor, who insisted on closely inspecting my student card- the same guy did the same thing a couple of days after my student card expired, letting me know in a very public fashion that he was 'terribly sorry' but I'd have to buy a full fare. Fair enough from his end, but other conductors are more reasonable- after all if I had a fucking job and a fucking income I wouldn't be buying a fucking student fare, would I? I'd already planned on going in to UQ again this afternoon to have it renewed, as there's no excuse for it all not to have gone through by now... I felt bad on Thursday for chewing out the guy at the ID desk when it's totally not his fault, but I hate being forced to fork out money where I shouldn't have to, and I hate being treated like a scammer. Slow-arse UQ enrolment people.

Grrr-fucking-rrr.
