The people who decided to raise the prices on food in the Union on campus without raising the meal credits for residents who already paid for all of the meals for the year, thereby making it impossible to purchase anything resembling even half of a meal when it is necessary to eat there due to the cafeteria in the dorms already being closed because you arrived late because of a class, thus making me be very hungry because I couldn't even afford a plain chicken patty sandwich and a soda with the credits allotted to us (and I could have gotten both with a bag of chips last semester with about 5 cents left over). And they suddenly have stopped applying meal credits before applying taxes, so I'm paying taxes on my meals twice now. If the head of food service had been in his office tonight, he would certainly have gotten an earful. Maybe tomorrow.

Very sorry to hear it. If I had to work a job that involved levying "cost cutting" measures that had these types of impacts I would have a very hard time doing it and looking people in the eye.Auleliel wrote:The people who decided to raise the prices on food in the Union on campus without raising the meal credits for residents who already paid for all of the meals for the year
I guess the trick is not to have to look people in the eye...Auleliel wrote:If the head of food service had been in his office tonight, he would certainly have gotten an earful. Maybe tomorrow.
He's actually in the office most of the time, but the incident happened after his office hours ended. I'm going to go and complain after lunch today.AjK wrote:I guess the trick is not to have to look people in the eye...Auleliel wrote:If the head of food service had been in his office tonight, he would certainly have gotten an earful.

People who do not understand that when they call a helpdesk, they are looking for help and not someone to vent their frustrations out on. And those that also do not understand when the helpdesk is treated a certain way, that the helpdesk does not do everything to help them.

I saw the dog with another student later that day.Mr Green wrote:People who argue with blind students who need their seeing eye dog to take them to class.......magickmaker17 wrote:people who think its okay to bring a dog inside a college campus' residence hall.

Food service people who conveniently tune it out when I say, "No onions, please."

Achabas. Dirt bikes that pass for taxis in Africa. There are zillions of them and they drive as though their life and the lives of their passengers (often several children) mean nothing to them. Then when they cause an accident, it's someone else's fault.

I guess it depends on the circumstance. I found an emaciated wounded cat that was about to die. I brought him home and loved him for fourteen years. He had been abused and hit by a car and was missing several teeth. He drooled every time I petted my two sox love but I loved two sox anyway. He was one of the best kitties I have ever had. Moose doesn't drool but he has a penchant for sticking his tongue up the nose to the point you think he hit your brain. I call him "the toad tongued monster" when he gets a hit.
