I really love the weather today so we’re going to go for a walk by the river and feed the ducks, and swans and maybe the odd pigeon too, it’s nice and sunny but not too hot.

honeyed chicken Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Greetings spammers. I'm putting this link here to advertise an acrophobia fill in game I dreamed up while our hostess, Castellan from regular acrophobia is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhae you’re right to check your accounts carefully, I’m glad you worked it all out, make sure you pay back your credit card right away so you don’t get charged interest. Oh my gaaaaaaaawd!!!!! this must be a beautiful moment. Yeah, I’ll be sure to double check the terminal before I enter my pin code from now on. No threat of interest, it was actually a debit card, I just made a mistake on the vocab. 17 hours ago, HelenaExMachina said: This happened at work before (a customer was charged £270 instead of £27 for their meal). Glad you caught the error! My account is £2500 lighter today, no error sadly. Damn tuition fees! Awwwwwwwww The funny thing is it wasn’t an extra zero I got, it was an extra digit 3 - I assume the cashier’s finger slipped on the buttons when she pushed 2 and accidentally added a 3 in the middle of the number. So weird. Oh yeah... tuition fees were a pain to pay though they are significantly lower here. (If one even has one, which the majority of students doesn’t).

It’s a worryingly easy mistake to make on those manual card machines, all it takes is a slip of the finger.it’s why I always try and check the amount myself and then make sure to say “check the amount and enter your PIN.” The ones which link to the till are far better as it’s not going to fall to human error to make a mistake. They were easy enough to pay actually. Too easy really, one shouldn’t be able to spend £2500 so simply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too easy really, one shouldn’t be able to spend £2500 so simply I was playing around with the configuror for a new laptop last night and was shocked when it came in at £3600!. Yes I can afford it, but I have to be honest I did balk a bit, and under advice from a friend decided to wait for the rumoured new models early next year before committing to spend that kind of money on a computer.

It was the same here though I didn’t pay for my bachelor. Certain majors also cost significantly more than others. Self-funded med school costs five times a business master (which is considered to be on the pricier side) 6 hours ago, HelenaExMachina said: It’s a worryingly easy mistake to make on those manual card machines, all it takes is a slip of the finger.it’s why I always try and check the amount myself and then make sure to say “check the amount and enter your PIN.” The ones which link to the till are far better as it’s not going to fall to human error to make a mistake.

Buckwheat Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I did not pay anything neither for BA nor for my MA program. I am not paying out of pocket for the PhD program either. However, I am paying for the additional program that I am doing (the one that might actually make me qualified to find a job - go figure). Giving a speech on a conference today. Nervous!

Jen'ari Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Happy weekend everyone , I am having a mixed start to it, on one hand I’m really, really tired, on the other, the garage where I’m buying my new car called today and told me it would be ready a week early if I want to get it, so I could have it a week on Monday if I wanted .

That is uni for you. Thanks all. Yesterday we had the book presentation, I had to sit and be interviewed for the first time in my life, I was veeery nervous. But it went well, the audience said we all made a good impression. Today will be another long day, have to drive over to another city to attend a boring class, and then in the evening a friend and I are going to be in another book presentation - this time it is us interviewing the author we translated. Lets see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 It’s quite typical that I get sick for a weekend that’s completely booked. so I can either cancel things or stuff myself with vitamins and ibuprofen and hope for the best.
