saw a guy standing outside my office door smoking a cigarette.
I reminded him that it’s a non-smoking campus now, and he said “yeah. i know, but they don’t enforce it.”
I said, “well, you never know.”, and he replied “yeah, I do know. they don’t enforce it. hehe”
so much for a “fresh” campus.
oh yeah. makes it [...]

non-smoking campus ?
a buck fifty
Looks like vending machine prices increased at the University of Arkansas campus Tuesday morning.
Coca-Cola and other soft drinks are now $1.50. (They were $1 the day before).
Snickers are 85 cents (along with other snacks).
Pullin the Weeds
Looks like they’re finally removing the old juniper/cedar trees (nasty things) from around the Greek Theater.
There’s gonna be some new sidewalks, landscaping, and TREES soon.
A couple of panoramas (click on the image for a larger version):
UA: New Leave Available for Children’s Educational Activity
At first this sounded great, until I realized that it’s prejudicial against employees without children.
Shouldn’t University benefits be available to all employees, and not be discriminatory ?
What about childless employees who would like to volunteer for school activities, Big Brother/Big Sister, or similar agencies?
Would this be considered un-Constitutional ?

Spelling Minus One.
I don’t condone the vandalism of public spaces and buildings with graffiti.
But I sure like and appreciate well-done graffiti.
However, get the spelling right dude.

Michael Showalter
Michael Showalter will be performing at the University of Arkansas Union Ballroom on March 13th at 7pm.
I knew it was coming, but after Googling his name and “arkansas”, I finally found some little bitty text on a single UA page.
If you’re not familiar with Showalter, he was a writer and actor on “The State”, “Stella”, [...]
I’m no architect, but…
Combining the sleekness of the the Architecture stylings of American Criminal Justice System, Neuvo Industrial, Misplaced Art Deco, Wide Open Space, and Polished Concrete, the new Law Building on the University of Arkansas Campus is as hideous lovely as it sounds.
The potential of the “Green Space” in the middle of the quad is promising. Right [...]
Times are changing
I walk into my office, get things in order, and decide to make my coffee.
My coffee is gone.
The full pound of Espresso beans brought back from Vienna.
Don’t fuck with my coffee, yo.
It was sitting next to my desk when I left work around 5:45pm yesterday, in a handled brown paper IGA grocery bag.
But it was [...]
Chartwells Loves the Environment
When the Arkansas Union was renovated several years ago, the Servery/Cafeteria Service was outsourced to Chartwells.
One of the major changes that was noticed was the substitution of real cutlery and plates with plastic equivalents. Hiring someone to wash dishes costs alot more than plasticware and styrofoam, apparently. However, what is the cost to the environment [...]
