Ah, sweet nostalgia.

I do enjoy starting my day with infuriated emails to my college Residence Officer. Whoever said 'let sleeping dragons lie' never sat around poking one with a long stick, just to see it set fire to its own scales when it tries to retaliate.

This time she's charged me for a new shower curtain despite the old one being (a) three years old, (b) attached to a very high ceiling so I nearly killed myself trying to get it down and (c) bleached for an entire night in an attempt to make it as good-as-new again. There was no physically possible way I could've done any better with that curtain and I'll be damned if I'm going to let her waltz off with £15 more of my money, not after she's made a small fortune off us all over the three years.

Troll of a woman. Why would someone who hates students work in a university?

(On the plus side I got at least £135 of my deposit back, which means I - briefly - have money again. Of course £70 of that is going to the parents but still. The remainder can buy plenty DVDs.)


edit: And on the subjects of asshats, methinks Rbin Hobb would be a splendid rant-partner for The Dragon. They could hang upside down in their dark cave together and bitch, squeakily, about 'the state of youth today'.

Good grief. I love the Fool to pieces but I'll never be able to read the books again without remembering what an idiot this woman is. Wonder how much I'll get for second-hand Hobb books on Amazon? Hm.

I got £15 taken off for my shower curtain as well. Gah.

It seems to be Their Thing To Get Money For Themselves on this year. Last year it was 'marks on the walls'; at least there's only the one shower curtain rather than four walls.

My reply from Edwin about my curtain was basically 'It's already been replaced, why are you bothering me?' Fighting a lost cause. -_-
