The past week has been one of the more frustrating weeks for me at my workplace. It's been a litany of bureaucracy and incompetence, and my faith in (some of) my coworkers has dropped precipitously. I had to send twenty e-mails to get the college Catalog updated with my correct position title and educational information. Yesterday, I saw a delivery man pushing a cart, opening the door with the handicap access motor (wasting the building's heat), and his special cargo that he needed the cart for was... a lone letter measuring 8.5" by 11"! The particular incident that's raised my ire this morning is the following:

We run these one-credit Field Studies in Geology courses, GOL 135. The Spring 2010 Schedule of Classes lists the different sections of GOL 135 inconsistently across NOVA's different campuses. Here's a comparison between the Alexandria and Annandale campuses' listings. Guess which campus is going to have its sections fill up with students based on this? Guess which campus is probably going to have to cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment? (Guess which campus I work at?)

Someone has screwed up here, and I'm not pleased about it. Grrr.
