One of the great things about working in PIRC is the relative lack of disciplinary problems. People just... don't seem to do anything here, except participate in the odd program or two. That's a good thing. But, thanks to the imminent demise of the school year, the normally placid residents of PIRC are turning into little monsters.

In the past week, I've seen the following:

1. Someone decided to tape up the elevator on the fourth floor with packing tape, completely covering the doorway with that nasty USPS monstrosity. Tape residue is STILL on the elevator doors.

2. Someone littered the elevator lobby of the 4th floor with torn-up fliers. You couldn't see the carpet for the amount of paper on the floor.

3. A couple of residents just climbed up the ladder to the roof in the South stairwell, setting off the alarm in the process.

4. Drunkenness all around - 3 people have been written up for underage alcohol possession, and I've turned a blind eye to a lot more drunken behavior.

5. Somebody stole a bunch of signs from Nitin's door and tore down a banner.

6. A few of my residents pelted my door with fruit. That was actually funny, especially since they didn't hit me... and they cleaned it up.

7. Tomatoes on the second floor. Weird.

8. Plus, there have been SOOOO many violations of the 24 Quiet Hours, it's not even funny. I've told more people to shut up than I thought possible.

Now, compared to places like New/North, this is minor. But in Parkside terms, they're being regular deviants! Maybe the residents just want me to get a taste of my life next year. That's sweet of them.
