Things that annoy you ?

I really like being asked for references for ex-students and it's great to see them progressing and moving on and I can tell myself 'I helped them along the road.'

Waiting for a uni Referance being done from somebody when the rest of the form is done!

Needs to be in the 17th!

Mine wrote me a glowing generic reference when I left

How do you handle it when you have to add referee details on an application form?

I think I printed the email she sent out somewhere - I hope so, I've not kept a copy on the computer, everything got wiped.

[spwan-of-the-devil]

Mine took bloody ages! As i was applying through my college, i had to send it to the college, and then the reference took about a month! It was only sent from the college on tuesday! Thankfully UCAS has processed my application now, just waiting for the welcome letter.

Part of a tutor's job is to help people grow and move forward. That responsibility shouldn't end when they complete the course they are on that you are delivering.

I always say to students at the end of a course "Congratuations you've passed but big deal this shouldn't be the end of your journey. It's just a stage along the way. What matters is what you do with your learning from now on."

You can't encourage people to move on and really make a difference and then wash your hands of any responsibility to help them.

It must be an immensely satisfying job.

Fcuking 'puters - which quite coincidentally also appears to be something that I've excelled at just lately it seems

Whilst b*ggering around playing the well known 'game' of hard drive switcheroo and other 'fun' stuff with several PCs for way too long without any significant amount of sleep ... I appear to have somehow 'mislaid' several TB of RAID array data along the way [insert psycho music here]

Ooooops and all that There's still around another 4 nail-biting hours to go before I find out whether anything more than just a vague memory of donkeys years of archive stuff various will ever appear on a hard drive near me again anytime soon. The poxy system had better be recovering and rebuilding something significantly better than just an empty drive after poncing around for most of the bl**dy day allegedly trying to that's for sure or it's highly likely to get repeatedly bashed with a very big stick sometime around 0500 hours for it's (lack of) efforts !

Rumoured festival line-ups, it just annoys me because you can never be sure.

Quite like the one at the end of Ash's 1977 called Sick Party which is basically just them vomitting.

just noticed it on infinity land which i downloaded last night. 25 minute track at the end. bollocks!

take that have got one too on progress, though luckily that's 8 minutes odd for the two tracks.

[amy246]

When you get excited because you have a new message and then realise it's not from the person who you want it to be from and it sucks

[ampersand]

Yeah, but at least the hidden track on Infinity Land is more of a little poem that you don't really have to listen to. If it was a proper banger of a tune, I'd be really pissed off.

people who are total pricks to you while you are with other people, but then act all nice to you when they are talking alone with you...

IT at work have decided to randomly block some of the threads on the forum, I can't get into Download & Single's Thread but the rest is ok.
