Had my Mandatory Application Review for the Co-op today, where they look at your resume and give you tips and suggestions. I got to campus half an hour early, because while I do have a printer, it does not have an ink cartridge. (It would have an ink cartridge if I wasn't allergic to paying $23 for one. Yeesh.) But, half an hour -- I need to print a two-page resume, how bad can it be?
Bad.
The main computer area was full of people doing homework/checking email/playing internet poker. So I go upstairs, and that lab is also full. It's got an "express printer" station though, so I go stand in the line that's formed there. There's only two people in front of me, and one at the computer, it shouldn't take that long, right?
Haha. Hahahahahahaha. Ha.
After fifteen minutes of waiting, I'm still in line behind people and it's ten until I need to be at the review session. So I go and check out the bit of the library that's in the building, but all of those are in use too! I go into the part of the building that's for Library & Archival Students Only -- it's ten cents a page to print there instead of seven cents, but time is ticking away.
I get a computer, yay! Log on, sign into my Cloud, select my resume, hit 'print'. Too bad the printer in there DOESN'T ACCEPT MY CARD. Because it's broken and no one's stuck a sign on it yet.
So I leave and go hit the various computer labs again and repeat the whole log-on, sign in, select, print bit, and I go over to the printer. Yay, it accepts my card! BUT WHERE'S MY RESUME?!
I check the computer, it's definitely been sent to print. I refresh the print screen a couple times on the computer connected to the printer, no dice. It is now exactly the time I'm supposed to be at my review session. Fortunately, there are library helpers who are magical (or at least liked better by the tech).
I get my resume, log off of everything, and dash out of the building. Run run run, all down the hall. I arrive on location and the people at the desk are staring at me with these expressions of "omg, where's the fire?" But I GOT there, and I had a great talk with the new Co-op coordinator, who is super-helpful and nice and awesome.
So all's well that ends well. IT WAS STILL ANNOYING.
