The day could have been much, much worse

rolanniThere was an...Incident... on the grounds of the day-job early on Sunday morning. Security guards and students were involved. Worse, actual police were involved. People were arrested, force -- either too much or appropriate to the situation; opinions vary -- was used. Admin is being ...bewilderingly inept in its handling of it all. Today, the students decided that Admin's ineptness had devolved into a willful disinclination to hear anybody, not just the students, and called a Protest.
Ahem. I'm old enough to remember Kent State. Steve was an actual college student on an actual state college campus when Kent State happened, and the Administration of that college thought it would be a Fine Idea to bring a few trucks full of military personnel onto the campus in a show of force.
To say that I was a Little Nervous today might not do Complete Justice to my state of mind.
Happily, it all went off without a hitch, or at least with no stones being thrown or anything more threatening than a couple of news vans appearing on the horizon. Admin is still being bewildering inept -- and invisible when, IMNSHO, they should have been visible. Also, they are making some...very odd choices about who gets what information about which.
Still -- coulda been worse. I hope it soon gets better.
