i know baz will agree with me on this one. stupid UHT people.
bureaucracy is the bane of the intelligent common man and woman. it's purposes for existing is to take something simple and make it as complicated as possible, to multiply inefficiencies, to flood the world with bullshit and frustration, and fill our heads with things we'd like to do to the incompetent little shit's skull.
case in point, this ridiculous timetable i have in front of me spanning nine pages, which i have to wade through to figure out where i'm supposed to be in the next few weeks. why couldn't the course coordinator have put the time, the place, and the person i'm meeting all on the same piece of paper?
internship applications is the same. why do we have to apply to pmcv and the hospitals separately? why do we have to go through this bullshit process of sending CV's, filling in application forms, writing cover letters and doing interviews many different times? why the useless referee reports? if we're all guaranteed intern jobs, why can't we just send one copy to the faculty, fill out our preferences like we did for clinical schools, and just do one interview with an independent interview panel rating us according different desirable qualities requested by the hospitals?
the answer: because it'd make sense! it'd mean unemployment for people doing useless jobs! oh no we can't have that! we'd actually be able to concentrate on our clinical experience and learn about medicine and not waste time and energy worrying about other peoples incompetencies! that would never do!
*sigh* just another annoying thing we are confronted with, every morning we wake up...

Hey, at least they organised yours for you by the day. Ours is an even weirder mishmash of here's all your mondays, tuesdays, etc for the next 6 weeks, and stuff that will happen some weeks that won't happen on others and you can struggle to make sense of it..which I've wasted about 2 hours working out. Not to mention that they've cleverly managed to make everything clash. Sheesh.
