I got one freaking hundred pages
I'm not sure about the other colleges/universities/university colleges, but in Taylor's the printing system is set with the quota system. You will be given (well, not given actually since you paid for it) a print quota every year. Once you finish using your quota, you can renew it by paying RM10 for 100 credits. And each time you print 1 black & white page, it will deduct 1 credit from your quota. Same goes to if you want to print 1 colour page, it will deduct 10 credits. Yeah, I know. It's very painful. >.<
When I first noticed I still had 100 credits left, I told myself, "Never mind, you can use always it next year," which was a good idea but then, the next second I found myself telling myself, "NO! You can't use it next year! The blardy print quota will reset to KOSONG!" Yeah, I know. I do talk to myself but the bigger issue here is I GOT ONE FREAKING HUNDRED PAGES TO WASTE! ARHHHHH!!!
Just in case your brain moves too slowly, I shall explain the situation to you. In Taylor's, students will be provided with 100 pages by the system every year. And do notice, it's BY YEAR. Now we are currently in November, which is plus minus only 2 months left before we are in year 2008, which means if I don't use it before 11:59:59 PM on December 31st, 2007, the system will automatically reset my quota to 0. -__-
The system is lunatic! It should automatically transfer the remaining of my quota to next year! It it unfair for not only me, but all Taylorians as well! Man, I can't believe the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Department wants to con my RM10 worth of credits. So instead of letting the ICT Department to untung, I decided to use up all the remaining credits in one day and act like that Ah Long advertisement on TV. XD
Halo kawan! Mau print tak? Jumpa saya lah!
Tak ada paper? Tidak apa, boleh jumpa saya..
Paper? Saya ada.
Print quota? Saya pun ada.
Satu puluh, lima puluh.. saya bagi!
SATU RATUS? Saya pun boleh bagi!
Tapi ingat arr, saya bukan Ah Long. Saya cuma nak tolong.
Well, I didn't exactly say those lines, but I did ask my friends to help me use up my remaining credits. They wanted to print five pages, I gave them. They wanted to print 10 pages, I gave them. Any amount they stated, I gave them. As long as they happy, I will be happy too. Hmmm... not exactly happy since I was sad as well. I happy because I CAN finish up the quota but I was sad as well because I NEED to finish up the quota. :(
Anyway, just when I thought I have pwned the ICT Department, I found this:
I still got 50 credits in the system. WTF!? -____-
After spending three hours in the Media Hub, I can't believe I actually still had 50 credits left. That's RM5 worth of credits! @$^#%$@!! That's it! A desperate time calls for desperate measure! Finally, I decided to use up all of it by printing *sigh* colour pages.
That's 5 pieces of colour pages if you're wondering. :(
Yeah, I used it to print stuffs like that. I know it is a sin to waste but it's not my fault! It's their fault! If they have a better system, I won't need to waste 100 credits in one day. So I hope that this issue can be solved ASAP. I don't want to waste my credits like this again next year. -___-
