So here's a little sunshine for the deadliners.
We were informed not long ago that the labs were to close at 5 again rather than the usual 9 that we grafters were accustomed to.
This is thanks to our good cousins at animation, across the hallway, having the good sense to have security so lax as to allow an entire computer, keyboard, moniter, mouse included, to simply walk out of the door.
Outstanding show! What does this have to do with us? Er..precisely nothing. Floorspace if anything, the fact that animation now has to be carted out by the resident custodian, so to do we.
Does this strike anybody else as a tad unfair? So a few civic minded of us 3rd years have gotten together to arrange a meeting with the head of department to discuss the matter. However there is a strong chance that even with our meeting penned in, the discussion will be distinctly one way.
I haven't really taken a particularly active role in my duties as Student Rep, because up until now everything has been ok. But when you sit down and think about this what they are taking is a hefty proportion of my time and others time to work on our most important project.
Four hours a day, five days a week, the project initial deadline in a month. 80 hours dragged out from under my feet. That's roughly a week and a half of 9 til 9 days in the labs. This estimate isn't even including the time running up to our final deadline.
It's late so I'll wrap this up. I'm not going to take this sitting down, I personally don't have the money to afford the equipment nessessary for this course and if it hadn't been for a kind hand me down laptop, I'd have been screwed from day one. The lab is the only access I get to decent equipment and there sure as hell won't be any installed in the library.
If they say no at the meeting, the next step is a petition.
