This essay is a right bastard. Usually philosophy essays are open ended but this has a whole guidance page of requirements to get in so is very difficult to write a philosophical argument without lapsing into 'x said this, y said this' (which is not philosophy). Determined to whack this bastard in the ground by Friday lunch-time so I can have Easter off.
I see that the OU Library Helpdesk remains open 24/7 throughout the Easter break though!

Wait, 24/7? That's quite impressive. I wonder who calls them at 3am.

The helpdesk is ever vigilent.

Oh right. Even so, it's pretty good to offer that.

That essay did my head right in. I got to the point where I had no idea what was going on so this morning decided just to submit what I've got and move on after 13 days of banging my head off the desk. Spent too much time sweating over this one which counts for 11% of the module score when the next one will be worth...40%.

Let's see how the help desk handles that then.
Brace! Brace!

I suspect there was just a temporary IT issue or my interweb was playing up. Try again tomorrow.

That would be the OU I.T. Helpdesk! They are also very good.

The assistance sofa, the sideboard of relief, the occasional table of succour, and the rescue pouffe.

The assistance sofa, the sideboard of relief, the occasional table of succour, and the rescue pouffe. Martin Martin has edited that post. I believe it originally said "the cupboard of relief" but I suspect he realised, as I did, that that meant The Throne Room! |

It's actually 999. That's right, the Helpdesk is so awesome and vital that it is only one step below the emergency services. They rarely need us though. Sometimes... Sometimes I pretend they've called... just so I can feel the excitement, the rush, the honour. And you know what? There are times... when we call them! |

I need 3000 words on: 'IS PAIN ALWAYS BAD?' so I can finish this fucking module.
The drilling and banging from next-door isn't helping.
