Damn slow workers/professors/TAs

[minendo]

When a final is scheduled to start at 8am and 2000+ people are scheduled to take the final at that time, it does not mean open the doors at 8:10am. Nothing like the rush of 2000+ people attempting to find the proper seats and exam time starting late.

Dang, that would be crazy. You'd think they'd at least open the doors 10 minutes early.

Nope. Instead everyone was crowded into this small lobby because no one wanted to stand outside in the sub 20 degree weather.

They were probably BOFHing.

My math final started 1 hour and 10 minutes late, as the professor forgot what time the final started. We had the pleasure of trying to take it within 50 minutes time. The Math department said that these things happen all the time, and we just have to learn to live with them...another reason I can't wait until next semester so I can get out of this hell hole.

lol really? that's the biggest BS I have ever heard. You don't learn to live with them, you learn to threaten them.

When life gives you lemons, you need to cut the guy who gave you the lemons and squeeze them into the open wound!

That's complete BS. If the Math Department won't help you, go to your ombudsman or contact the dean of your school. Seriously, that's grounds for some sort of disciplinary action on the math prof.

Don't even get me started on the Math department here at Purdue.

Well, I'm a History major, so I think I'm safe from their Math department, finished all of my math requirements, I just hope they all transfer.

What math requirements does a History major have? Algebra and Trig?

Quit your whining dawg, maybe the prof was late and didn't want to kill himself driving in that kind of weather.

This would mean that 4 professors, 16 TAs, and numerous music hall staff were late. I don't think so.

Geez... 2000+ students.... thats insane.... my class has about 8 students....

My final this morning was an abortion too.

Nothing like being greeted with 77 huge blocks of code to find one little asinine error with.

Exactly how my Visual Basic final was.

Let me guess - the semicolon prematurely terminating the conditional loop trick? That gets me every time

Worse, nested loops to the degree of like 6 loops. It's ridiculous because no sane programmer would ever create a situation like that to begin with.

You'd be surprised.
