So, I work for a university, in case you couldn’t figure that out. From time to time I will use this blog to kvetch about things that rile me up and/or set me off. I will always do my best to protect the identities of those involved but if you think a post is about you, perhaps you should ask yourself why. Today’s post is an example of this.
A faculty member wants to use the conference room. Doesn't ask "is it available?" just says "I need this today at this time" (note the lack of forewarning, one of my triggers is last-minute changes, btw). Well, the conference room is booked for that time and has been for weeks, but of course, they don't bother to check that shit. So then the faculty member wants to use one of the offices up near me to meet with a student. I explain that said office has no chairs and offer a workable alternative and the faculty member is pretty much demanding that I be sure it's set up for said meeting. Um... excuse me... moving crew is not in my job description and goes against my disability accommodations. I mean, I get it, some students are scary but damn, maybe set up the meeting with me BEFORE you set it up with the student to be sure the space you want is available.
*deep breath*
Find something positive.
