Pipe dreams.
I had to take this photo with the uni camera today, and I’ve officially declared it the Worst. Camera. Ever.
Seriously, it shouldn’t take ten shots to get one half decent picture…
Anyway, I’ve been trying to get this copper pipe cut down for me since Wednesday, and I only just got it today. But it’s perfect and the tech from Industrial Design (on the level below us) took time out to do it for me, and he certainly didn’t have to, so I’m very thankful.
What I’m less thankful for is having the acid room locked on me halfway through etching the pipes. Today is Friday. Set up is on Monday. The studio isn’t open on weekends. A certain someone who trusts me (and shall remain nameless) had given me permission to keep the room open after hours so I could finish everything up, but later on one of the other staff took all my stuff out, and told me to get anything else out of the ferric because the room had to be locked right at that very minute. I only had a few more things to go, and now I’m shitty because I can’t finish making my kaleidoscopes this weekend, and will have to jam everything in on Monday when I’m supposed to be done and setting my work up ready for assessment.
Grrr. Argh.
