I had my last exam of the semester this
morning. That's 'had' in the 'it was scheduled', not the 'I
have done' sense. Seemingly coincidentally, there was a
fatality on the train lines this morning, when some clown
decided that their last contribution to society would be to
cause chaos on the train lines. 3000+ people were held up
at Gordon Station as CityRail closed
the line between Gordon and Chatswood, replacing it with bus
services. This would all be well and good, except for the
fact that the bus services didn't show up for an hour, and
then had to drive through peak hour traffic.
Needless to say, I got to uni 45 minutes after the exam
had started. University policy says
that once an exam has started, you can't enter it -- i.e.
don't be late.
I now have a Request for Special Consideration form, in
the hope that I don't get penalised and receive an Automatic
Fail for not showing up on time.
Did I mention how much I hate CityRail? Shit, they're
constantly and consistently screwing up, and the fares are
always increasing. I'd be happy with that if the service
was getting better, but all they're getting better at is
giving the commuters a good servicing.
Meanwhile, I'm going to drown some sorrows, then head off
to the SLUG meeting
tonight. Tridge is going to be there, so it should be
cool. Then off to the pub for more sorrow riddance.

I've been really slack lately (well, just busy with work
and uni) and put off a lot of things I want to do; beefmail,
flotilla, a key-signing tool for the Palm, and some ideas
i've had involving a 3D shell/environment and lots of
eye-candy -- all these are on the back burner, which I'd
really like to be working on. *sigh*
