Today was not my day. After waiting two hours for my new computer (well at least I got some reading done... oh, no I didn't, I couldn't print what I really wanted to read), I finally got this wonder, spent half an hour installing my usual programs (why do Microsoft think I want Messenger in Danish just because I am located here, have they not heard about internationalization?) and then of course went to the obligatory department meeting. I then had to write all kinds of internal documents ('oh, Louise, by the way, please write a page or two about all the things you did the last two years, including publications') and an important email (no not the one to you, that was just for fun).
Finally around 6.30pm I wanted to search and print out articles about social computing to take home and read tonight; I need to write a chapter about approaches to social computing in my thesis. After printing two documents, I got the following email from the system administration:
You have been sent this message in order to inform you that your printing quota is exceeded.
This means that you can no longer print, and will be sent a message like this each time you try.
In order to be able to print again you will need to buy more print units at the reception of ITU.
If you think this is an error, please contact system administration stating your reasons to believe it is an error.
I wanted to cry and go home.
