Just about every day the "living" part of college really gets on my nerves. Last night during a much needed phone conversation, the fire alarm went off and forced all of us out in the cold. Of course, I didn't grab my jacket on the way out, and of course, we never found out what happened. Probably some stupid kid who's not near as busy as I am.
Also last night there was apparently a storm that I was not aware of. Some of the electricity was out in my dorm this morning, including the outlets in my bedroom, which means seashell woke up way too late. Some of the washers worked in the laundry room (however, the lights did not), so I did some laundry this morning, only to have my attempts thwarted when they turned off ALL the electricity and stopped my garmets mid-dry. It's a pain to do laundry here. There are only four dryers now because the first two eat money, and the change machine doesn't work. I got a quarter stuck in the bad dryer today and spent thirty minutes trying to pry it out because I didn't have any extras. This whole place is inefficient.
Sometimes I think more people should ask me for advice. Not to toot my own horn, but I have a lot of things figured out. Take for instance, money. Many places could cut down on a lot of expenses by using utilities less. I did not understand why the air conditioner was on in the cafeteria when it was sixty degrees out. That was at least a hundred bucks wasted in one day, not to mention all the money wasted on other such things. More to come on Seashell's Journey to Efficiency...
