Today was definitely the most stressful day of the whole module so far. I was so excited to finally print out all my cards that took me ages to perfect, as well as my box packaging and my first time printing my own stickers. Alas, James was not in when I turned up to my print slot. So, none of the print guys that came to cover knew how to print off double sided. They also don't know how to print stickers, so had to scrap that idea. At this point my excitement turned into despair. After ten wrong printed out pages later, I finally had an almost perfect print. It's 2mm off being perfectly double sided, but I just wanted to get out of there and was the best I was going to get without James being there. At least my packaging came out fine…
Then a little bit of luck came, as they changed staff and the girl that covered them knew (kind of) how to make stickers so I ran down and begged if I was able to slip myself into the slot and I did yaay. But she wasn't really too sure what she was doing, and after a few misprinted sticker sheets later, I finally had them done!

So because of this, I lost a lot of time. Spending 5 or so more hours longer at uni then I needed to when I could have been blogging or making presentation boards. I know it's hard to replicate James, especially which such short notice, but I don't think it's fair that our work has to suffer because someone else is ill. The system really needs to get sorted out quickly.
