Good news, bad news and WTF! news
Oct. 29th, 2008 01:33 pmThe Good News.
In my cold, wet hands I now hold the Ultimate 2-Disc Edition of Iron Man.
Oh yes.
Oh so very yes.
Just as my fandom excitement began to dwindle due to the fact that I hadn't watched it in a while, the Universe (and the post office) decided that Yesterday would be the day for me to receive this little bundle of Movie Magic, too bad I couldn't actually get it yesterday due to some bureaucratic cock up.
But today.
They can kiss my shiny metal ass (it's actually peachy fuzz, but eh. Details).
The Bad News.
Who wants to go to Uni this year?
*raises hand*
Who, in fact, is getting screwed over by the Ministry of Finance by dragging their feet and allowing this catastrophic academic mishap.
*raises hand with thousands of other students and the Ministry of Education*
Speaking of the MoE... what an utter disappointment Minister Tamir has been. You really can't compare her to the unmitigated disaster that was Limor Livnat, but she was such a hope. I mean, here's an actual academic, someone who actually worked as a teacher!
And she somehow allowed her Ministry to be fucked over by venture capitalist pigs.
Ugh!
The WTF! News.
Related to the Bad News. The campus treasury sent me a notice asking for more money on top of the advance that I've already paid them.
This is not the tuition money.
This is most likely something to keep the admin office head above water.
This is so fucked up.
I cannot even describe it.
But at least I'll get to watch Iron Man today. So not everything is wrong with the world.
Right?
