FKlama Report post Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) A few hours ago I started my daily routine of getting lunch and checking mail. Normally I would go to the UFO (University Food Outlet), buy a sandwich, cherry coke and a pcket of crisps. Then go on to the mail room to check for mail, eating the sandwich on the way. After that back to the laboratory. A few days ago I stood in front of closed doors when trying to buy dinner, and found out that the UFO opens until 17:15 during the holidays (I ordered food that day). Today I stood in front of closed doors again, well bevor 17:15. After a while I found two identical A4 sheets of paper, with easter egg grafics printed on, informing me that the shop will be closed until Wednesday next week. Slightly unsettled I proceeded, without lunch, to the mail room, only to find a similar (less decorated) piece of paper, telling me again that the mail room will reopen next Wednesday. I am always amazed how such 'little things' can throw me off course that much... ...it seems like the whole university is closed, even the chemistry building is on 'limited access'. I am very happy that I have a keycard, so I can at least get into the laboratory. Edited March 20, 2008 by FKlama Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mumble Report post Posted March 20, 2008 "No Meals" has thrown me completely too - i'm really really struggling - I was only just getting by and what might seem so insignificant to most people is too much right now. But how stupid does it sound that I want to curl up and hide away because I can't cope with my routine being disrupted? How stupid does it sound that I can't even do something as simple as get my own meals? and how on earth do you make others understand? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
