This week, the college celebrated it's 40th anniversary, along with weekly events for Earth Day. It was great, for the most part:
* The Funky Females came into the cafeteria this week. They are a mother and daughter duo, who have no concept of good personal hygeine. When they finally left, they left behind a sickening odor of armpits, fish, and shit.
* On Wednesday, we - the cashiers and our supervisor - got to close down the cafeteria for 3 hours, so we could take part in the claasified employee appreciation day. It took place in the bistro. I was impressed with the layout - the food, decorations, and the band, who did covers of R&B hits from the 70's and 80's. It was fun to watch fellow employees 'dance'...very few had any rhythm. It was hilarious. Bobsie Twin #1 made sure to videotape stuff, along with Big Momma out on the dance floor! (She actually had some rhythm). The hightlight was when our head boss - an older, balding white guy - was inside the bistro, happily dancing around while cleaning a table. No one notice him until I happened to look inside for more cake..."Hey everybody - check out Stan!" I shouted. The guy could actually dance! He then came outside, and started up a Soul Train line. The laughter and screams were deafening. Yes - I guess 'fries do go with that shake', as George Clinton would say.
* Another fire in the kitchens...the whole building was evacuated for about 30 minutes until the fire marshall gave the all clear to go back in...good grief!
* Me and the other cashiers were chatting with a culinary student, who told us about how his crazy ex broke out all of the windows in his place. Right at that moment, an attractive, tall well-dressed woman walks in. She walks right up to him, and begins to talk in his ear. She isn't shouting, but we could all hear her, as we were right there. "I will fuck you up and your bitches if I hear any shit come out of your mouth" she said. He backed away a bit, and told her to go away. Me and Mai slowly backed away, as we sensed some mayhem coming. We went into the side entry to be safe - lol!
In any case, she said what she had to say, then walked off.
They end up arguing out in the quad, and a hapless dishwasher was caught in between them. The crazy chick has him by the arm, using him as a potential shield from her ex. She's spouting out crazy shit, while this poor dishwasher is being spun around like a rag doll. (He's a tall gangly guy). He finally breaks free, and takes off. I'm wondering if someone called the sheriff already, as it would no doubt escalate. It did.
About 10 minutes later, we see dozens of people running across the quad - some coughing and choking...due to the fact that this crazy bitch took out a can of pepper spray and sprayed it in her ex's face. He's yelling while taking a swing at her, blinded, yet he punches another guy in the face. Total chaos! (I wonder if someone videotaped that).
From what I heard later on, the culinary student was taken up to the nurses office, where he got treatment and is okay, and his crazy ex was taken away in handcuffs.
* On Thursday, Green Day/Arts events were in affect. There were many activities going on throughout the campus, like sessions on how to start your own mini-garden, knitting with natural fibers, woodworking and print-making demos, icing elaborate cakes, etc. I took my afternoon break to walk about and learn stuff. It was cool. There was free food and drink too, which was nice. Too bad I didn't get a few raffle tickets to try to win an iPad, iPod, or Kindle!
Ah - campus life!
