I finally got around to opening my mail from yesterday (hey, I was partying). One of the letters I got was from the housing department telling me that I was no longer invited to continue my employment opportunities with them. I can't seem to stop giggling about this letter; it's definitely going into my scrapbook.
The humor with this is that I was released in June '01. So, it's taken nearly ten months to give me the required written confirmation. Of course, if they had realized that I was no longer in the room they sent the letter to, I would have gotten it in September (only four months after the fact). But, if they had bothered to double check my room assignment, I wouldn't be able to laugh that it took them five months to figure out that I moved two rooms down.
I also found out today that my apartment application was approved. Now all I need to do is cough up the deposit. So, in all, it's been a good day. Posted by Grokca (Member # 722) on :
10 months to figure out you were not there, you must have really made an impression.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
The funny thing is that I did make an impression. I worked there for two years (average staff turnover is ten months), inaugurated a new senior staff position, and wrote the desk manual (a big monster of a book). I was pretty well-liked by the administration of the department except for one woman who got into a position of controlling my employment.

So what did you do to piss her off?

That is the question.

Some people can't deal with others who do a good job, and are well liked.

Kosh got fairly close to the answer. Here's the Reader's Digest version. I frequently bumped heads with coworkers that were favorites of hers. They didn't do their job and I got stuck mopping up their messes. Things got downright dirty my last semester there; it was almost an all-out brawl between one of her favorites and myself. In the end, she got to say on-staff, while I resigned to concentrate on my grades (which had taken a severe dive) and get away from the stress.
I reapplied and got my job back, but then that woman was elevated to assistant director. So, she canned be. I found out three weeks later on accident. I tried to appeal the decision, but the executive director stalled me. So I gave up and found a better job with better supervisors elsewhere.

Who would have known that the world of college dorm supervision was so duplicitous?
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
You have no idea. At least I have a lot stories to share. Posted by MaGiC (Member # 59) on :
If it was anything like my university hall of residence most of them will be X rated, or at least a deep shade of blue.

Oh goody, "Confessions of a College Dorm Supervisor."
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Ummm... I don't have a whole lot of X-rated stories to share. I was on-call once and got into the tale end of an incident where a drunken couple were screwing in the showers (community bathroom on a girl's floor). Then on my floor I once had a guy bring in his girlfriend and they got into the stall I was next to. No full sexual shenanigans, but there was probably some oral play going on in there.
Now, I was on-call and had to break a couple guys having a rowdy time in the showers over a Spring Break once. And there was this really unattractive and bitchy girl that had her boobie pop out of her shirt while I was sitting a desk shift. And three of my beautiful coworkers flashed their breasts to me. I saw the full range of breasts with that: implants, pierced, and natural. That's about it for the public nudity stories.
The stories I were thinking of involved massive flooding of the complex, no power or utilities, a fire alarm system that had failed from lack of power, mold and mildew beginning to grow, temperatures inside reaching 90 degrees, and the administration decides to leave the students in the building and hands out candles and matches to provide lighting.

Boobie.

I want to know how he got his coworkers to flash their breasts at him.
"College Girls Gone Wild" indeed.

I guess I also ought to add that I've seen my residents in towels, robes, and underwear. I was an RA of a coed floor one summer, so that was kinda fun though made it difficult for me to focus on getting the occupancy reports signed and the room inspections done.
As far as the flashing goes, those were attempts by three of my friends to corrupt me. In person, I tend be quite reserved and conservative. They didn't like it, so they flashed me. The first was at her bachelorette party at a night club. The second was when I was sitting early morning desk duty after she had just gotten her nipple rings. The third time was as she was dressing to go out clubbing. She didn't like the shirt she was wearing; it wasn't revealing enough.

Well, that explains what the big stick in that picture was for...

I figure that at this rate, I'll be getting a response to my letter and petition of appeal from the executive director in the next couple weeks ('cause I filed them in mid-June '01).

I was an RA at CCAD my Freshman year. It doesn't really compare to being in charge, I'm sure, and most of my stories revolve around getting treated like crap by the seniors. But there was this one time where we woke everyone in the building up at 2 in the morning with the fire alarm and had them assemble in the cafeteria. For the second time in a month, the Dorm supervisor's door had been smeared with human feces.
Let me tell ya...that was a tense 25 minutes.
Sadly...I have no public nudity stories. The hot senior RA had this scuzzy boyfriend that she would always take into her fourth floor room though. I wonder if HE has any public nudity stories...

You're a girl now Seiggy?

Honourary, perhaps. 8)
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
She actually defied tradition and held two bachelorette parties. The first one was ladies-only and was an elegant affair. The second one was the night club and she invited her friends of both sexes. Needless to say, the flashing was the highlight of my evening (because I cannot get down and get funky on a dance floor).
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Before I make some tasteless joke, is that due to a medical condition or you being a big girls blouse?
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
If you wish to make a joke about my lacking the skills to boogie-woogie all night long please go ahead. I simply have no rhythym. Plus, my problem of being large enough to have Sputnik orbit me makes me too self-conscious and too awkward to do a little dance, make a little love, and get down tonight.
