And I was foolish to assume otherwise.

I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation as to why Ithaca's reslife won't let me and Lydia move in to the room next door, even after being informed that it is no longer taken by the people who had reserved it originally. I'm sure that I didn't get up six hours after going to bed just to call them "ASAP" like D said I should because surely they'd ( Read more... )

Heh, you thought Res Life would be easy about something? That was foolish of you. After 3 years there, I'm fairly certain that the stick up their collective asses is a critical part of their office running.

May annoying housing opperators be beset by seas of righteously indignant biting ticks that will fill his bloodstream with the burning retribution of spirokeets that will wrend his very entrails and cause him severe distress!

I hope he gets lime disease.

Post that on the IC Community.. so whomever DOES get the room feels bad, yeah! Then, you can guilt them into sleeping in bathtub while you and Lydia get a whole room EACH! Double yeah! Then, you can dance...

That is a wonderful idea.

Calling ResLife drives me nuts! I called a week ago to see about when and where to call to get beds lofted. The guy hardly spoke English and acted like I was dumb for calling. So I was making sure it was ready in time! Geez!

We so totally had the same guy. And I'd call again because ... he's a jerk, but I think the chances of someone else answering are slim to none.

I worked for that particular org. for most of my college career, and although the room switch you suggested sounds deceptively easy, I assure you it is not. The amount of time spent trying to fill those rooms and comply with the demands of everyone on campus really adds up, especially when they get calls from demanding parents who believe the world can be changed especially for them. If someone computer-inclined could build a really good program to alleviate this problem, I assure you that a room switch would be easier.

I sympathize with you because the guy sounds like an ass, but he's probably an ass who just got reamed by Mrs. Jones because Little Jones doesn't have a Terrace supersingle. Maybe everyone just needs a free vacation to Tahiti.
