I'd considered my training provider to be as somewhere towards the less competent end of a scale of competence of Higher Education Institutions.
In the letter inviting me for an interview, sent last June, they told me the interview date was 21st April 2005. Seeing as I'm not a timelord this was decidedly out of the question.
On Thursday I went to hand my assignment in and found the place all but shut up. I waited around for an hour before some kind person (nothing to do with the handing in of assignments) offered to take it off me and see that it got to the right place. The most worrying part about this was after he'd torn the receipt off the cover sheet he handed the assignment back to me, instead of the aforementioned receipt.
Oh my.

Had the same experience lately. Had a shirty e-mail (sent to all departments) on the 14th from our boss indicating she needed some input from us for the new perspectus. The wording of the e-mail was one of desperation requiring that we got the info to her before the 20th, I took it to her on the 17th only to find she was on holiday until the 24th..... You can't win.
