So. As stated previously, the department is moving next week. One of the great mysteries on campus has been who is getting our old space. Several different departments were contending for it, and all of them decided to drop on in at one point or another and demand that I drop everything to show them the space that they may or may not be getting (the Women's Center called first, so I'm less pissed at them). So we had a bunch of people coming through receiving the Grand Tour.

The Law School has been on the Grand Tour *six times now*. It is the same bitch every time, leading hordes of law school staff through the halls, demanding that offices and classrooms and every godsdamn thing be opened for her. Running into any office that happens to be open and loudly declaring what she's going to do with that space. Having her hordes congregate around my desk while I'm working, making "witty" comments at me.

She actually demanded a key, so she could show people around at will. I refused. No way in hell are we giving a master key to people's offices to this total stranger. However, this means that either my office manager or I have to follow her around closing doors, because, despite being told repeatedly that she must close doors when she's done showing the room, she doesn't do it.

We are moving *next week*. Why the hell can she not wait til a week from Thursday when we won't *be* here?

Gah.

I have just told my office manager that, since they are treating me like a monkey at the zoo, I'm going to act like one and start flinging things at them.

Ok, so how many people would pay to see you scream and fling poo at a bitchy woman?
Monday, July 22nd, 2002 09:14 am (UTC)
I'd pay to see that!
Monday, July 22nd, 2002 09:22 am (UTC)
i'd totally pay!! or just sit there and growl menacingly at them.

"i love this show..."

Dude, that is so what I need. You at my desk like a Chinese foo dog.
Monday, July 22nd, 2002 09:47 am (UTC)
I would *so* pay to see that.  hell, I'd even help fling.

Count me in. I've been where 'Song's been. Oh yeah...I'd be so there and helping her too!

Especially if I get to fling poo at the Law School chickie...I'd get so much off my chest being allowed to do that.

I recommend installing a rubber band Gatling gun on your desk and swinging it around in their direction the next time they enter.

YES!! i so want one of these!! thanks for the link!

i also want a replica 16th century doglock rubberband pistol to carry around at Faire and SCA events. =) there's a guy i know in Vancouver who makes them, plus other period replica rubberband guns (http://www.lydia.org/bandgun/) -- they're gorgeous.

Did you not get that link before? I know we discussed it, because you told me about the period-rubber-band guns.

I told my boss we needed one of those gatlings for the exit desk. He said we could get it if it was the taser version. :)

no -- the link with the Gatling gun is a new one for me. i've seen rubber-band guns in stores and stuff before, though.

the Kendal bandguns are just awesome work; they're dead-on replicas. [well, except for the rubber bands. =)] he often offers them up as prizes at SCA events in the Northwest. he's a sweetie, too -- i met him a dog's age ago, when i first started playing in the SCA.

One, I *so* need one... :)

What's wrong in your world this morning?

Video. Definitely need video of this. To be shown at the next Movie Night.

You could try doing what all the people at the main campus of my college do and just tell them that it's not your department; you haven't been trained in that. ;-)

Or you could try directing them to the welcome center and telling them to check on campus tour times for incoming departments. G,DaR...

I swear next time I'm going to tell them to make an appointment. "I can pencil you in for December 4th at 3:30..."
