And then you will be on the prowl one night and see that your car, parked just outside the building, has just had 50lbs of horsecrap piled/smeared on it. It happened to an RA in my building freshman year. He loved his car too (RX-7). His door was continually vandalized, stink bombs slid under the door, pennied in, etc. Being known as the RA who enjoys busting people has marked disadvantages

As an RA, it's not your duty to "bust people", necessarily. Your job is to enforce policies. If you encounter a policy being broken, you're to confront the people involved and (in your paperwork) report what you saw (no editorial comments, I learned that myself).

If your RA is "on the prowl" trying to bust people, he needs his bosses to smack him around, and hard.

This was two years ago. He would literally walk around the building when not on duty, looking for people making too much noise, playing hall sports, smoking cigarettes, drinking, etc. It was basically his hobby, and when he caught people, he got this huge sh*t eating grin while lecturing them on how it was against university policy, and outlining the max punishment they could recieve. So, basically, while I did not participate in the horse crap incident (that was a pair of ag students), I did go out and take some nice pictures.

Hell, I would've taken pictures. People like that should not be RA's.

Yeah, but would you have slid a couple of blown up glossies under his door a few weeks later?

I was curious to see how the process turned out.

I'm actually going to be a Community Adviser in a new apartment complex next year. It's a different position, different requirements... don't get food, but I have a kitchen in my apartment. I'm guestimating around $80 a month in food, so it shouldn't be too bad. The requirements are less, too. If I really hate it, I can always come back to the dorm I'm in the year after.

Any news?

I thought you said good bye? What are you doing back?


BTW Never was an RA but my friends who were said it was a blast.
