Well its about to begin, the hell on earth that is October. The time of the year I hate the most (and not just because I’m another year older). No its because its that time of year when students return to Uni. While working in a University does mean that things are fairly quite during the summer months (although not as much this year), it’s a total nightmare for the first month of the new academic year.

There will always be some problems with the new registrations mainly due to inaccuracy in data meaning accounts not being setup. We will have issues with lots of returning students forgetting their student ID which will mean they will all need cancelling and reissuing. Plus there’s a high probability that there are gonna be 100s of students who can’t get there machines to work in their college rooms. The result massive queues, the phones ringing off the hook and an e-mail inbox which fills up faster than it can be emptied. Oh yeah and then theres always ‘freshers flu’.

So that’s what I’ve got to look forward to for the next month, just a little warning if I’m not very talkative or a bit off with you then sorry. For the month of October my mood will either be, pissed off or just pissed. I’m going to try not to let it affect me too much, basically by adopting an ‘I don’t give a shit attitude’, but no doubt by about 9.45 it will have all got too much and I will have shouted at someone, if that someone is you then sorry.
This was meaning to be a bit of a rant, was just in the mood for a rant, but unfortunately it just petered out a bit. Never really got started, think I’ll got to bed now and have another think about it, might try again tomorrow.

Ta ta.
