No Contact Without Phone

Recently having required some information, and having been unable to obtain it from my usual sources, I resorted to the Contact Office.

Alter hiving to ask where it was as it bad been shifted from where it had been on my previous visit (last year) I side-stepped my way through accumulated furniture and directed my enquiry at the type behind the desk. I think he would have helped if he could but he didn't seem to have the information in his files. Helpfully he made a suggestion but he "wasn't sure". I was going to ask if he could ring up and check the place he suggested until I noticed he apparently didn't have a phone. Guess what I asked him? "Have you got a phone? " Well... all I got back was "dark mutterings" about how Contact had been trying to get a phone..... thought they had one at one stage but apparently it had been stolen.

Perhaps the masses aren't supposed to ask such questions but I do sometimes wonder what goes on in the management of the Union and Stud Ass. I don't know where Contact stands in relation to such people but it does seem to me that with the state this place is in at the moment anyone who is trying to do something for students should be getting a lot more assistance and support than Contact appears to be getting. Surely there must be one phone 'they' can re-locate there. I wonder how many other queries Contact has not been able to help for that very reason. I don't know how anyone else feels but a Contact Service without a phone just doesn't make sense to me!
