so i have to do a SUPER huge amount of coding for a project this weekend. Normally, I'd just hero the shit out of the code in my room, but I have to use this special engine, an engine that only USC's basement labs computers have access to. "no problem," i think, "i'll just go into the lab at 7am, get an early start on coding, and finish up this bad boy."
so, its 6:59am, ready to rock out some coding, but the _lights in the room do not turn on_. Apparently, there is some security code I have to punch in to turn the fucking lights on. So right now, i'm sitting in a pitch black basement, its freezing cold, and the ONLY light on is this computer monitor i'm staring at. My eyes are going to be burned into the back of my skull by the time i'm done.
fjsdklgjasklfjskl. i've even called like 10 departments and they're like "oh my that's weird! good luck!"
ffuuucckk -_-

Bring a lamp, if you can. If not, then ^, I'd just call security.

If he could do the work on his laptop, which you said to hug, he wouldn't be in the situation in the first place. He needs the computers at the lab, like he said.
CAUGHT.

then where does the laptop come from, when he clearly says "lab computer"....
anyway is the lab near your dorm/house, you could go bring a coat and some gloves and then work. Or is it possible to copy the engine into a USB stick and bring it home?

I thought he was holding a laptop (because students in Singapore carry their laptops around...)
Nvm, still, just hug it :D

Has this been procrastinated to the point where now you have to do it all over the weekend? If not, then if the room isn't accommodating you have a valid excuse for why it isn't done. I've found that usually when someone is in a situation similar to yours they have no fall back because they should have done this project a while ago so the limited availability of the computer lab now isn't a valid excuse for not getting the project done.
