WAG - A Sticky Situation
Hello.
It's a sad thing when you have to consult your blog to be able to tell approximately where you went to bed.
I got through the day okay. This was a light day - classwise. I've spent a bit of time working on decorations for Family Weekend.
I'm done, but decided to take a break before putting them all up. I've pre-taped most of them. There are at least a dozen 1-page flyers, only 4 half sheets, a coulple double sheets, and about 5-wide posters (at least 3 feet long) all flipped on their back around my floor.
To fall and trip now would be disasterous.
It's weird working on these because of the politically correct tone we must strike. We're encouraged to post "Welcome friends and family" rather than "Hey Mom and Dad." Families come in many shapes and sizes and the University would hate to insult a group.
I've largely followed that rule with one exception. On one long strip of paper I wrote "Simply welcome" in the middle surrounded by every possible visitor I could think of.
Including, but not limited to: aunts, step father (accidentally twice), God parents, friends, moms, children, old teachers, grand parents, step siblings, brothers, nephews, family friends, great grand parents, dads, significant others, cousins (twice), neighbors, half brothers, sisters, foster family, nieces, step mothers, religious leaders, alumni, half sisters, uncles, guardians, and parole officers.
I brought it before a group of residents to see if they could name another. The only addition I got was "social workers." I have also since added "MUPD," "Res Life Staff" and "strangers."
If that doesn't cover everybody. I don't know what will.
Anyway, I need to put these things up before I can go to bed. Literally.
There is no room on the bed due to the protective layer of butcher paper. I couldn't even negotiate a path to the bed around the minefield of tape.
Work now sleep later.
