muttering to myself under my breath

when in trouble
or in doubt,
run in circles
scream and shout!

hahahahahahahahaha
works for me...
actually there's not much screaming and shouting but there's a lot of circular movements, arm flapping, list making, box ticking, stationery picking, internet negotiating...
sheesh,
*In My Day* we used to arrive at university the day before lectures started, fill in a piece of paper, and beat it to the second hand bookshop.
that was it!!!
these days enrolment is all online, which means a million phone calls to the helpcentre cos The Big Smoke Uni website is not a ninja. it's almost like a prerequisite to course entry: you know, if you can jump through eleventy billion hoops you're educated enough to cope with lectures.
at least D18 is well-practiced in telephone etiquette, he'll have no prob's getting a part-time-job at a call centre...
ok, am stalling now, i really need to be sucking everything up the vacuum cleaner... cos we're off to The Big Smoke in little less than half an hour
*guess the movie line*
