  Admin side asks me for a progress report......

  Die die it must be a PDF file no more than 150 kB in size.

  I've already abbreviated the report to just five short lines, did no unnecessary formatting, saved as a minimum-sized PDF..... and it's still above the 150 kB limit.

  Seriously, what kind of smart aleck asks for such a tiny PDF file?

  i wonder if the admin assholes worked for CAG in the past too.. because that's what they told us to do when we had to send in some stuff.. and they required a couple of pictures in the file too..  we sent a fuzzy, lo-res pic in the PDF.. they complained they could not see so i blasted them...

  oh yah.. they also required an application form sent to them in... get this.. MS Office Word mode...

  again, there was a size limit..

  when you downloaded the form from their site, it was already above the size limit

  Okay, I managed to bring it down to below the limit.

  I shrunk all the words down to font size 8. 

  Good luck to the person trying to read it.

  I was walking pass a group of people just now, one of them was holding a book from SMU, which I presumed he's a student. He was telling the rest of his group to go for a Bachelors night when they graduate... -___-

   

  I didn't know anymore if he meant it as a pun or really taking it serious >__>

  Already did.

  Frankly speaking I've only had one outright rejection...... all the others are still pending.

  Sorry acid....lol. the week after monday?

  Anyway, I made a complaint to SBST a month ago.

  Thought nothing more of it.

  Last night received a letter with 5 complimentary tickets inside. That will come in useful for my fast forward rides.
