It's the start of our homecoming celebration, and I'm about

[MsUSA]

ready to kill someone!! I work in the alumni office and everyone who wanted to attend the festivities were supposed to buy all the tickets to events about a week ago, and as usual we have stragglers. I've had about 10 calls already about buying tickets to the football game, and the reunion activities. I've just had it with people who think they don't need to follow procedures. :mad:

1. Oh, I'm sorry.

Ours is coming up as well, but we have the opposite problem, so many people want to buy the silly tickets, that we have to have security around the ticket booth so people don't do stupid shit to get them. I think most of the events are sold out and the tickets went on sale two days ago.

2. You think that's bad? Try working in a pub--on campus--during homecoming

(which also happens to be Alumni weekend).

Imagine eight hours of serving hungry kids too drunk to tell you their own name (not that they'll come for their food when you call them anyway). Imagine a noisy, hot, hedonistic horde who have no qualms about stealing food that isn't for them, and then complaining that they didn'tget what they ordered. Then, it's 2:30 in the morning, and you get to spend at *least* two hours cleaning up after them (when they're supposed to bus their OWN tables). But hey, why am I complaining? I got twelve dollars in tips for the whole weekend, after all.

Nonetheless, I feel for you as well :hug:.
