(no subject)
I feel that I am a fairly understanding person. I know that things happen, life happens, and I realize that sometimes you just can't do certain things. However....there comes a point where I have got to say "WTF" For example...
Student groups such as high school organizations, high schools in general, middle school students, honor students, church groups, all enjoy visits to visit Western's campus. This year we have been overwhelmed with groups that want to come visit, which is great. However, many groups are not able to schedule their dream day of the week because we are already booked. Most people are fairly understanding of this and I help them to find another date that will work out. Our first special tours were scheduled for last week. We had two scheduled and one group of 50 cancelled 12 hours in advance. This week we had 4 groups scheuled and one cancelled, 3 days in advance (little more curteous). What really frustrates me is that 3 other tour groups really wanted to come this Friday, however, I had to politely tell them no. It is so frustrating for all of the work that I do to accomodate these people and then they cancel like its no bodys business. Counselors schedule their high school visits so that they can come back and talk to these students, the cafeteria ladys work harder to be able to feed these people. I take the time to send out confirmation letters to these people with every possible thing htey would need and then they freakin cancel.
Also...I thought that by not being in the townhouse for more than 2 hours a day, I would eliminate roomate issues. Nope, not possible. My roomates are the laziest people I have ever met. There has been dishes piled up in the sink for about a week now. Tonight I ate dinner here for the first time in about a week. Ive seen the dishes in the sink but thought that they were there because the dishwasher was being run and someone was too lazy to unload the dishwasher. I could kind of understand that. So I open the dishwasher and find that it is 1/2 full with dirty dishes. Yes the dishes have been sitting there in the sink for at least a week because they are too lazy to place htem in the dishwasher which is about 2 inches away from the sink. Recently we got new mail boxes which are about a 30 second walk from our front door. I informed them of our changed mailbox location 2 days ago when I found out and delivered everyone their mail. Then today I ask Lauren if shes gottne the mail at all in the past 2 days and she admits "No I haven't its too far away and you have to go up that hill to get it." You're joking.
I can't wait to have my own house that I can keep as clean as I like. I can also put paint it whatever colors I wish and put whatever I want on the walls. I can have whatever furniture I want as well and I can control who comes in and out of my home. Can't wait to have my own kids and not have to watch others bratty ones. As far as my own job, I have one of those and well yeah, I'm scared of being a real live OT. Ive tried being a fake one and its not working out so well. We will see though...
