Bummer. Everything's WRONG.

Note: This is a rant on lots of things. Better not read if you're not up to it. ^^;

F***. the university is a friggin' idiot. In the first place, which idiot organisation has two sets of passwords and IDs?!!!!! Then they dont' TELL you which set they want. You browse through every single help file they have, and each and every one of them is useless. Totally useless. I had to resort to trial and error to figure out which set to use, and in the end neither set worked. Then another FAQ in a totally unrelated area mentions in an obscure one-liner that I might need Netscape. So I get netscape. And voila. I manage to log in. Then guess what? the friggin' video doesn't PLAY. So I peruse through another obscure FAQ. And this time they say that you need MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER to open the bloody buggers. But IE doesn't work!!! then they suggest you install another prog, called VPN. I get that damn prog. And the damn prog doesn't even let me access the net. I take a look at the FAQ, and they tell me they know not how to help me. So I end up tinkling with the controls. It took me the better part of an hour to get the right mix of controls before I could even get on the net. And when I finally get ON the net, Windows Media Player DIES on me. No reason. It just sits there, refusing to play the video stream. And it has the GALL to tell me it can't open the file. No reasons. It just can't open the bloody file. So all my diligent reading of badly written FAQs and installing of totally useless space-hogging programs comes to naught. I feel like shooting the cretin who designed the bloody uni pages. And strangling the guy who wrote media player. Everything's so bloody screwed up. ARRRRRGH!!!!!!!! It's doubly frustrating when you've been trying to solve the same problem for the entire weekend. It's like hitting your head against the damn wall.

[end rant]

I've realised that I'm sounding like a spoilt brat these few days, for which I'm really sorry. It's just that things are building up to a very frustrating point down here. It's one of those times when everything lets you down. Damn. I think I really need a break. The funny thing is that I'm not even into my second week of school and already I need a break. *sigh* I didn't think adapting would be so hard. I've never had newbie blues so bad before. Maybe I'm getting old.

But on a lighter note, saw a hilarious ad on a taxi's bumper that says "Maidlibrary.com.sg. Your bow to aim for the perfect maid." *ROTFLMAO*
