Hear Ye, Hear Ye!

The courtroom hung heavy with the echoing sound of the gavel as the congregration settled down to a dull roar.

"I will have order in my court!" bellowed the judge, his face red with anger.

Silence reigned once again.

"Now, you may proceed, counselor." He motioned to the prosecuting attorney. The prosecutor straightened his tie, cleared his throat and approached the witness once again.

"As I was saying, your honor," the prosecutor said, his long southern drawl melting into his words, "there is absolutely NO evidence of the whearabouts of the defendant during the night of this heinous crime. He has no proof as to where he was other than the sketchy account of a friend he had spoken to later that evening. Therefore, he is obviously guilty and should be prosecuted to the furthest legal extent." The prosecutor sat down, a smug smile crossed his face.

The jury mumbled to each other. Shaking their heads and looking at the defendant, now sitting with his head bowed on the stand.

"Your witness." The judge said to the defendant's attorney.

"Thank you, your honor." the attorney said, "Now while the prosecution's allegations are quite persuasive, I beg to differ on his conclusions. There is, in fact, concrete, solid evidence of the whereabouts of my client. Your honor, he was on Rove in the Harold B. Lee Library."

The crowd began to mumur again. The judge silenced the courtroom again. "I presume, conselor, that you have evidence of this 'roving?'"

"I do, your honor." said the attorney, proudly. "I have here, his ROVE LOG! Fully filled out!"

The courtroom erupted in cheers. The defendant had filled out his rove log. His whereabouts were known and his honor was in tact.

Thank you, Rove Log!

To the Office Cleaning Zelots Out There

I appreciate the fact that you want a clean office...even so much that I can be found cleaning up after myself about 95% of the time (hey nobody is perfect 100% of the time).

I must say however that if YOU want a clean office and decide to clean it YOURSELF, then YOU shouldn't do it by moving the mess from the office to some arbiterary locker and then telling the owner to clean it up for YOU! So get it together and don't push YOUR mess, or the one that you apparently need to cleanup, on other people.

And on that subject, it was homework that was left in my locker. And if someone first decides to do homework in the office (which they shouldn't) and then decides to leave it for others to clean up (which they shouldn't) and someone else throws it in the trash I have absolutly no simpathy for the individual.

Bottom line, if you do the deed then clean up after yourself, if not and you have some over-zelous desire to be someones buttler then just finish the job and don't pass it to someone who has nothing to do with it!

Are You Ready, Gumshoes?

I hid another "Ripped Off" card in the exhibit. The finder of this one will get a bigger prize than the last time because this one is hidden in a slightly more difficult place.

Clues to come if no one finds it.

Scheduling

I think that if you take a rotation shift that is Friday Night or Saturday night that goes from 1730 - 0000 or later you should be exempt from being in a rotation that late at night.

Example: 717 took a midnight shift on Friday last semester that saved many a folk from having to turn dates down. Why should 717 therefore have to go into a rotation on a midnight saturday shift. THAT WOULD BE MEAN AND DOWNRIGHT DIRTY. No, I think the only rotations that that person should be eligible for are those saturday afternoons and sunday shifts that may be in the rotation.

Please show your support for such a rule by commenting to this blog. Decenting oppinions from 735 will be deleted by me (I served my mission in Russia).
