Cut Off
The rat-bastards at the University cut off my internet access.
Apparently you can't plug the same computer up to the net in two rooms unless you've paid the mandatory 6 Euro for both rooms. I had a nice little external adapter so I could switch out if I needed to, and all would be good. I didn't see anywhere in the rules that said I couldn't. The Uni didn't see it that way. There's one line, fine print on the bottom of the page, that says I have to register each computer in my room, even if they use the same device to log on (it says it in a roundabout, German type way, but that's the basic message).
I don't know how long I'm cut off, possibly for the rest of the semester. They don't believe in informing you of little details like that either. I'm going to have to plea my case with them in person on Monday, and wave another 6 Euro's in their faces if that doesn't work.
I'm sitting in the lab typing on a German keyboard now. Typing loudly. Their keyboards are backwards and upside down, with the z where the y goes and the ÄÖßµ symbols all in the way. Double the frustration. I won't be dealing with this for the next few weeks, no matter what.
I don't believe they cut me off!
