Student politics. I was forced to attend the student union AGM today, and it seriously made me lose all hope in humanity. It was horrific.

I'm amazed that you still had any faith in humanity before this.

Oh god, that means voting time is most likely coming up here too. I get to get harassed by people that want me to vote.

Oh, we're nowhere near the elections yet (thank god). Those are their own special version of hell.

It really is amazing how retarded the people who get really involved in student politics tend to be. It's actually slightly scary.

Where do you go to school//where are you from? But that is annoying.

I'm from Indonesia. But currently I'm studying engineering in singapore.

Apparently my university regulation "forces" international students to conduct the so called self study session on school..

To bad i cant skip it $:-\$

Most Wi-Fi at my campus is denying BBT's site—in fact, the only site that I couldn't get in. What gives? It's annoying to find a suitable place with a LAN socket.

People that "talk" but don't do anything

Once in a while the company I work for decides out of the blue to redo the interfaces of all our tools. They add no new features but it sure as hell disrupts my work for nothing.

This monitor failing to send proper EDID data over cable forcing me to write the modeline for 1280x1024@75.

Having to visit my parents (takes ~1h for one way) 'cause I forgot my keys at home this morning. Also, the bus won't come for another 15 minutes and I chose the wrong shoes this morning and therefore my feet are freezing cold.

That sounds like a shitty day.

^ aside from that "shit, the keys" moment and the frozen feet it was quite nice actually... Came to work early so I could finish early and then re-watched the first 4 eps of SAO with 2 coworkers (one of them didn't see them yet, which was why we were doing that in the first place), and had sushi for lunch^^

Is playing Civ 5 unproductive...?

I found a pretty big bug anyhow:

...it was impossible for me to win with a diplomatic victory, as the votes needed couldn't be reached.

I'm not sure about that, it looks like Napoleon and Oda Nobunaga had 3 votes combined (which you got), and you had 1 vote, so you would have had to vote for yourself to get 4 votes.

Missing my chance.

And having to go and find an older version of uTorrent. Blarga.

Moving a house. When I was a kid it was always really exciting, but now it's just a slightly depressing pain in the arse.

Turd-for-a-brain client who are doesn't understand simple instructions, refuses every single alternative solutions I give her and then tries to file a complain against me for not sending her a free technician at her home to show her how to use her damn TV (something I can't do even if I wanted to).
