I had to book my flights to San Fran to head off with the guys from PaddysValley in December so I booked my flights last night before I headed off to Scotland (Yes I’m there now) checking up on my twitter feeds I saw Damien mention price today was around 500 euros.
I was gobsmacked. Last night they charged me 830 euros for the same flight. I went on to the Aer Lingus site and low and behold the total for the flight today is 485 euros. Flicking through their site it said you can change flights so I went and rebooked them at a different fare and they charged me 70 euros for the privilege. But of course when you read the fine print, oh if you get a lower fare we’ll hold on to your money. A big fuck you really.
How the hell does a price difference of 345 euros suddenly appear overnight. Needless to say I’m pissed at the moment.
Better myself. Another five years of stupid crap I guess.
It appears more information has surfed about Bertie and payments and as a result the PD’s look like they might resign from government. While I’m not completely au fait with the law as far as I know they couldn’t continue running the country since they don’t have enough seats. So who runs the country then?
You’d think this would affect FF popularity and according to this mornings poll… SUPPORT HAS GONE UP TWO DAMN PERCENT. What in the hell is wrong with this country?
For some unknown reason the 365online account seems to hate you when you hit the enter button instead of clicking on Enter and refuse you a login and claim you entered your details wrong. Needless to say I was trying to login at a late hour and I was tired tried several times before I remembered the fact you have to click enter.
Then I was presented with a error page saying call them. So I just did and who knew for “added security” I have to actually give them my full bank account number instead of my 365online login id. So not having any statements to hand they transferred me to my branch to get that account number.
Then I asked for my account number and had to provide my ATM number and several security questions. Then they gave me my account number and I called back 365online with this number and told me that my account was blocked since I entered my pin in wrong three times! Shock horror! And they now have to send me out a new pin instead of just unblocking my old one and before they could do that, I’d have to answer some security questions (of which some overlapped) and then call them back to confirm my new pin before I can login again. Does anyone else consider this to be a little excessive or am I just getting cranky with old age.
And I’m heading off to the Microsoft Vista launch thing for the B seminar so maybe I’ll see you there!
I swear poetry for the leaving cert is just one big mindfuck. I’m still baffled at what Yates was trying to say. What the hell was he smoking when he wrote The Second Coming? What’s only worse is that miserable cow Sylvia Plath trying to spread her depression through out the entire world. Why do I have to learn poetry from someone who put her head in an oven and turned on the gas? Or why do I have to learn poetry at all? What purpose can it serve in the modern world?
Well today out of the possible nine classes in a day. I had three. I got fed up and went home after lunch because I certainly wasn’t going to sit around for another 2 hours doing nothing when I could be at home studying etc.
Ooh er, i’ve been in a blogging mood over the last two or three days.
Today I went to see Casino Royal today at Cineworld but of course the universal law of dickheads took effect, and I was stuck beside them. They had their own little running commentry throughout the entire film which pissed me off to no end. And then to top it off, some arrogant prick decided to bring their baby to the film. Which decided to start crying in the middle of the film. But seriously what kind of fucker brings a baby to a movie? I’m going to either have to go to launch night when there are people there who want to watch the movie or start my own private cinema so I can watch films in peace.
Other then that I approve of Daniel Craig as James Bond. I was shocked when I first heard the news but after seeing the movie, I was impressed. Very damn impressed and there was a good few one liners in the movie to make me laugh.
After the cinema, I headed out with Tom to various shops to pick up a copy of Gears of War. I got one for 57.99 in Gamestop which isn’t too bad a deal at all. I’ve only played it briefly but it seems ok. From all the reviews I was expecting a little more. I don’t know, maybe an hour or two of it will turn me to like it. Then Tom decided to get a haircut in that place in Arnotts, in retrospect I should of also got one but oh well. Then we waited for at least 25-30 minutes for a bus to show up. I don’t know why but the specific bus I take to get is the most unreliable in the Dublin Bus service. We counted 4 going to Dun Laoigre in the time it took for one of ours to show up.
Whatever wanker’s idea it was to make 2 hour block classes for the last three days should die. I feel like parts of my brain have just given up and died.
I go to school with a bunch of wankers as well. So 2 hours in certain classes with certain people just aren’t a good idea at all. You’d think at 6th year level, they would either grow up or drop out. But alas neither has happened here.
For example I have a very good teacher (I pass (and continue to) the subject now!) who has a class with possibly every wanker in my year in it. So instead of teaching she ends up wasting time giving out and dealing with said wankers (Of one who has been suspended about 11 times at this stage and yet he still comes to school) and the powers that be knowing damn well about the wankers in my class and the hassle the teacher gets continue to do nothing about it. Thats example one.
During said block classes one of my teachers didn’t show up for the first fourty minutes (We got bored and started playing with electricity) because the powers that be made him do something for them when he should of been teaching us. He was fuming when he finally got to us.
One of my teachers has suddenly decided to hate me for some unknown reason. An example of this would be one morning we were sitting in the demo room in a pattern like “Tom, Dick, Me and Harry” and we’re correcting some work and he asks Tom then Harry then Dick and moves on to other people in the class. Petty or what?
And today I’ve seen a 42″ flatscreen be installed over the trophy cabinet for some unknown reason. And as “Student IT Officer” (crap title I know) I’ve discovered the location of the server which keeps track of grades/attendence etc and its in the corner of the comms room (also where the cleaners keep their stuff) which is far too warm for a standard desktop pc to be running in without any visable means of backing up. They originally held the servers in there but then moved them out since the heat caused the HDD in the staff server to fail and I told them that would happen about 2 weeks before it did. I wish they’d respect my professional opinion on matters like these.
And initally when we joined the school it was a multidenominational school but it turns out its actually a catholic school after all. So some teachers did some digging and after getting in contact with the Archbishop it turned out we were a catholic school after all. And despite the Board of Managment knowing this, they still haven’t changed any reference to this. For anyone who goes to the same school as I do, look in your journal on the first few pages and you’ll see multidenominational mentioned.
And despite only being open 7 years, we’re building an extension on to the school as it turns out the school is too small. Lack of foresight and planning seem to be a common factor in the running of this place. That is all for now.
