ARGH
I know this is going to sound totally trite but here goes. I'm a Board of Director and a member of the Governing Board for the TSU. I show up today to park in my parking lot and I'm informed by the Sherrif's department that they are having a graduation and so my parking lot is closed for VIP members. Excuse me? After I told him my positions on campus he said that's too bad but this was for VIP's for the graduation. That's fine, you can keep the parking lot tonight and I'll make sure you're never allowed to use the TSU for your event again. :) See, while they may have had permission from Campus Parking to shut down the lot, the Governing Board and ultimately the Board of Directors have final approval for any organization which uses the TSU. After talking with several employees and finding out that they are angry about this, I feel it is my duty to make sure that the concerns and anger they have expressed are considered. They have pissed off the wrong student leader. Now normally I wouldn't care, but I have two sprained ankles. Thus, I'm not really in the mood to walk any farther then absolutely necessary. Grrr..
