The Official "rant/bitch/moan" Thread

Yes, this is a blatant copy of a similar thread in the UCD forum. But everything they can do, we can do better. :p Post here when you've had a ****ty day, or when you just want to let off some steam about a particularly irksome facet of Trinity life.

Sweet I was a little worried about being flamed for complaining about those muppets. Hoping I get the job now so I can tell them where to shove it. It was one of those situations where you're not expecting abuse so when it happens you're too shocked to come back with anything, damnit spent all day yesterday coming up with biting retorts. Nice to see its not aceptable, I'm only a wee first year and dont really know anyone, that interview is like the nasty side of trinitys reputation everyone warns you about. Maybe I should cancel my brothers streak through the place and the ball rubbing against whatever staff happen to be there

And sell unfairtrade coffee. We don't want africa catching up with us. They'll be wanting revenge for the old exploitation.

Rant/Bitch/Moan/Death Threat: I may well kill my marketing professor before this week is out. If I suddenly stop posting here, well, you'll know what's happened.

Argh anyone else interviewed for the jcr? 20 or so smug little idiots trying to make themselves look good by intimidating whatever fool thought it might be a nice place to work in. Sorry but it's such a ridiculous situation and the last thing you;d expect in an interview, more like that crazy hazing stuff, it like only a bloody cafe. Do they have a reputation for that kind of behaviour? /end rant

This one time i was trying to get a roll and the guy at the counter started dancing and singing "cha bop shu wa wa" and the other guy at work started dancing. Then they looked at me like i was on crack cos I didn't laugh. Then they gave my roll to someone else. Never going back.

Do you think it's that serious? I'm not sure; I think it's been pretty active this year and there've been loads of new posters which is good. However there are definite troughs when there are hardly any posts for a day or two. So maybe you have a point...

rahrahrahrah!
I'm here now, you can all relax!

You're all on hols soon, except for me and shay and the other loons who decided that the very slim chance of getting schols was worth 2-3 months of social deprivation.

Apex is a Schols .

Schols = Foundation Scholarship exams.

That's it Ibid, you're getting a special statute dedicated to making sure that you never get a degree...

For everyone else, http://www.tcd.ie/local/statutes/ will explain why he's slagging me. And http://www.tcd.ie/scholars/Scholar/infoScholars.php will explain the Schol stuff.

i don't think living on campus (either tcd/dcu) counts as living on your own properly anyway.

As of 5.23 this afternoon, no longer an issue, but thanks! May get back to you when I get the grade back...

We few, we happy few...

i don't think living on campus (either tcd/dcu) counts as living on your own properly anyway.

And yet, it'd allow me to live within 5 minutes walk of my lectures and avoid a hellish commute, unreasonable transport costs (seriously, do Dublin Bus spin a wheel every month and decide to randomly raise prices with no warning or what?) and my evil elder brother, so irrespective of whether it's living on my own "properly", I'd still be pretty damn grateful for it.

true that - at least when you're living out there on your own you have tenants rights

anyhow, moving home next year methinks - gonna buy a motorbike and use that to get in, if the summer funds allow.

That really sucks. Anyone living on campus you can wake up and sleep on their sofa? If the best you can find is the computer room, you're about to even lose b.ie.

Hope something works out

No one who I'd risk trying to wake up. If only I could remember the combo for getting into the Physoc room I wouldn't be in this mess.

On the plus side, I followed the resident fox around campus for a while.

I'm so tired.
