More frustration

Oh, and I was told that our department was given $500 to spend on whatever you want for your lab.

So I sent in the orders. I looked at prices in a catalog and online. Not including taxes, I was over by $2. I bought from places that don't charge shipping. But they also apparently give us discounts on stuff. I don't know what the discounts are because I don't know the University's account names and passwords to see these prices.

So after taxes, I still have $52 to spend *grrrrr*
