Anger, frustration, irritation.  Aggghhhhrrrr.

Still waiting for the computer to turn up.  I won't name the supplier, but they are messing us about.  A lot.  Yesterday I was promised delivery today.  Today I'm promised delivery tomorrow.  We gave them the cash over a week ago.  Not impressed.

Plus all the other bits of kit we're trying to buy are stuck in an in-tray in Finance and I've had to beg on bended knee a highly stressed clerk to put them to the top of the pile for processing tomorrow.  She's being heroic over the whole thing, but I'm still left without any of the stuff

Week three is almost over and we haven't even started yet.  I could cry.  Most human geography doesn't really need any equipment and so normally we're spared this kind of thing.  I have much more sympathy with the physical scientists now, pulling their (receding) hair out over stuff not turning up, or breaking down, or simply going awol.  Whose stupid idea was it to do a gadget-laden project... oh, yeah, right.
