had a major wig out @ my boss last week and sent her this big long ranty email saying that if i didn't work overtime, the job wouldn't get done and we'd have 1000 cranky students on our hands, without a timetable...
semester 1 timetable is now finished... but now i have to create the class associations in the database so that students can sign in for them...
timetable is done... but now i gotta set up the classes on the system so the students can select which tutorials they want to attend....
and there will be a bit of shuffling in the first few weeks as the class numbers settle and the teachers bitch to me about how room xyz is inappropriate for this class and how they need one with a whiteboard... and i'll say to them 'all of this hassle could have been avoided IF YOU ACTUALLY TOLD ME WHAT YOU WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!'
i've still got semester 2 timetable to go... although that's not as urgent seeing as it's months away.... but now that i've done semester 1 with pretty much no instruction, training or help, i'll be in a much better position to tackle semester 2....
