I had to be the first one.

So my dissertation meeting this morning was at 9am. Checked my email before I left, because the tutor was ill yesterday and had cancelled L's meeting. No email, so reluctantly assumed it was on and dragged myself up to main campus an hour earlier than usual.
Only to stand outside her office for twenty-five minutes, wondering if she was still ill but not wanting to leave in case she was just late. Asked the English office staff if she'd phoned in to say she was still ill and they didn't know. Finally quit at twenty five past nine and wandered off in a sulk to get a cup of tea. Came back at quarter to ten (because my 10am seminar was literally just down the corridor from tutor's office) and there was a printout on her door saying she was ill and wouldn't be in all day.
Yeah. Thanks for letting me know. If she was still ill last night, why didn't she email me to reschedule just in case? She emailed L back right away, so isn't like she can't use the computer.
Okay, so it's not like I'd done any work for it anyway and quarter to eight isn't the earliest time to get up but... it was pointless! I could've had another good hour and a quarter of sleep!
Bitter now.

Date: 2007-02-07 02:03 pm (UTC)... I would tell you but our email system is down so I can't look it up. N one hugely famous but some people from creative writing have met him before and said he's awesome. Looks interesting anyway. :)
