An odd day for annoyance

[ffutures]

Fracking Livejournal keeps switching me to the new version of the "Post an Entry" page, which I hate.

One of our teachers forgot to order an experiment, came in and grabbed what she wanted during lunch (while I was still supposed to be on break) and continually asked me where things were, then during the course of the lesson sent kids for more stuff eleven blasted times - and yes, I was counting.

And I got another parking ticket, again stupid because I'm still a Westminster resident with a valid parking permit. This time I've phoned the parking people, and spoke to someone who claims to have fixed the problem - apparently the permit was never entered onto the database of people who have paid for motorcycle parking, but now has been. We shall see... Meanwhile I've appealed it - the third this week.

But apart from that things are going well. I have my adventures more or less ready for Dragonmeet tomorrow, and knew that I was in the right frame of mind when I found myself typing the phrase "Are you now, or have you ever been, polluting our precious bodily fluids?" in the notes for one of them. Still a little more to prepare, and I can't find my big Forgotten Futures poster anywhere, but I ought to be OK tomorrow.

Thankfully I saw the new version once, changed, and it hasn't snuck back. Because yes, it's just horrible isn't it.

And that's just typical, application received, but not entered into the system. What, do they just put them in a big pile somewhere and cheerfully ignore them?

They sent me the permit and I'd imagine it's on the permit system for resident spaces - but there's a separate system for pay to park bays such as motorcycle bays. If you pay the normal parking fee there's no problem, but they don't automatically make all vehicles in the residential scheme eligible to use motorcycle bays, because cars aren't. I really don't understand why it doesn't happen automatically if you register a bike, which is what you would expect, but it doesn't, and the person who transfers them manually didn't do so.

I'm not too bothered - it's cost me some time, but not a huge amount, but that's all.
