Ordering chemicals is driving me nuts

Was trying (still am )to order some chemicals for some experiments.Its a torture.The bureaucracy involved in the process is cumbersome to say the least.
First take the Requisition form , fill it up, get it signed from Renu.Next take it to Hilda,she prepares some sort of Form in MS Excel that it to be attached to the original form.That done, go to Adriana, she who's orders must be obeyed, for she works in the Deans Office.Then once she gives the acct nos and all that, take those forms to Dr.Byrne, he who talks incessantly but knowledgeably on any topic under the sun, and in fact beyond too(He had once spoken to me on planets and stuff like galaxies!).Once this is done, it takes around 2 weeks to get the stuff.
I am spending the better part of the past few days calling Cust Serv at Sigma Aldrich,at Amersham (sic)
Whew! Just walking from my lab to the Deans office 3 4 times a day leaves me tired ! Its about 2 minutes walk dudes!
Someday if i manage to complete my experiments and ever graduate , I shall look back upon this blog with great emotion and think to myself Those were the times!
Gotta go now.Gym time!!!
