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.

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.

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.

You have no idea. At least I have a lot stories to share.

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.

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.
