last minute accountability thread: final thesis calendar of proccedings! stuff left to do!

C

Argh, why me?!

Luckily I electronically submitted it (uni does wants that) last night so my date of submission is yesterday as agreed - but disaster printing this morning. The colour printer messed up at uni and instead of printing out just the images printed the entire thesis of 288 pages in colour. *****!!!!! argh.

So £60 on my uni print account for one thesis copy for an examiner - I won't be paying that off for a while. I still have to sort out the other one now. Work at 1-4 so I really need to get this bound soon - come on printer!!! Will have to hand in after work and whether that it today or tmrw I really don't know now.

What an annoyance. I jsut wish I hadn't slept in a bit later today, but was so exahusted from little sleep for 36 hours.

:(

I'm sure printers can smell our fear when printing out important documents close to a deadline. Poor you for having to grapple with such thing when you really don't need it. But you WILL get it done, I know you will, just a little bit more time and you will be done and dusted!!

*gives the printer a virtual kick up the bottom*

No!!!! Oh Chris..... one day you'll look back on this and laugh... well, cry but you could make a fortune out of a book entitled - Thesis Formatting and Printing Disasters: One student's struggle to hand in a thesis - you'll be rich :-) one of those 'A Year in Provence' type books but with more pain and anguish :-) For goodness sake don't drop the darned thing on the way to the binders or this really will be the 48 hours from hell!

Lol at the fear smelling printers... mine always behaves perfectly until I have a deadline then it wants to jam/run out of ink (how, its just been filled?)/screw up several sheets into messy ink covered balls etc etc - it knows when its needed!
