A big thanks to ITM posting everything on that FB thread annoyance that I wanted to/ didn't want to! IF someone could prove to me in the way that ITM mentioned (a screenshot of the post AND the PM), then we can talk. But everyone who believes it cannot offer proof. There is just a belief that they don't think they are posts. FB was a different world a few years ago. People used walls like texts- just for regular ol' conversation- which is why they look like PMs. Now people are more selective about their public posts.
Like ITM just said, it's a public company. It is not worth it for them to lie. If this were true, it would be an easy fix followed by a public apology.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
What bar are you guys going to again? I have to wait for my brother so I don't even know if I'll be able to make it down there before 4 or 5.
UMMMMMMMMMMM Flanzo. You are going to skip out on us AGAIN?! We'll be long gone by then. The music starts at five. Meet us at noon. Your bro can come down on his own later.

He is not on my level when it comes to navigating the city, so if he needs me to wait I can't leave him to find it himself (it's not easy to user public transportation from my apartment to get to the West side of Manhattan unless you know what you're doing).

I looked at mine yesterday after someone posted it. All it shows on mine is old wall posts. It took me a minute to see what they were since I barely remember last week much less what I wrote to someone 4 years ago.
All the students who park in my staff/faculty lot really pissed me off this morning (I actually had to go park in a different lot).
This always confused me, why would the faculty/staff get pissed at this?
The students in a rush to get to a class they were probably late for and didn't want to troll the student lot for a spot that maybe isn't there, (your school probably has a different situation then mine did but student parking was a nightmare,) will get a ticket.

My school had some lots that people could get away with parking in, even if they weren't supposed to. Most of the time tickets were given out but if you had a 50 minute class there was a chance the parking attendant staff
I would imagine faculty/staff get pissed at this if they are forced to park further away or in a different lot because some students decided they didn't have to follow the rules (even if the rules are lame). Sure, they will get a ticket but the annoyance still happened.

We are mostly residential campus. VERY few people live off of campus, so people running late for class is not an issue. For us, it's mostly the people (freshmen) who aren't supposed to have a car on campus so they end up just parking wherever. And I get pissed because half of the cars in the lot that I usually park in (yes, I counted) did not have a parking sticker. I had to park in a different lot this morning and walk over. I contacted Campus Safety to get their butts moving ticketing. In addition, we have some visitor spots in front of the building. This morning, 10 of the 11 spots were were taken when there was only one visitor in the building. This is not fair to our visitors. My boss called to have the rest towed. It's a struggle we come across in the beginning of every semester.

I want to preface this in that UTK sells more permits than spaces (1.85:1 for commuters, 1.2:1 for non commuters), so I understand the pain of school having sh*tty parking.
1) A vast majority of university students are 18-25. Generally speaking, they should be able to get around alright. Faculty and staff can be into their 70s. What is a crappy walk for students could be near impossible for some faculty.
2) For quality faculty, there is a competition between schools. Therefore, there are going to try to take care of them. Not having to walk a mile to your office every day is a hell of a perk for many.
Yea but you asked why faculty/staff get pissed. Not why Bonzai got pissed.
Student's have to pay to go to school, don't see why they shouldn't have some of the same perks as the people paid to be there.
Agreed. I hated how parking was handled at my school. You had to pay for a parking permit/pass and like Dave said...there were more permits than there were available spots/lots. To fix the complaints the school built a brand new parking lot but made it an hourly pay thing. So I had to pay for a semester's permit and if there weren't spots open I could usually find one in the "Pay" lot which would charge a few bucks an hour or something like that.
Even worse was deciding to go and use the "Pay" lot....then looping around 3 minutes to see there are no available spots.

UTK hasn't tried the pay garage yet, but it won't be long before they get the idea. They had to build a new garage to get it down to the numbers I listed. I am glad that my class now is more toward the evening, so I don't have to enter the warzone that is parking at UTK in the middle of the day.
Isn't there more important sh*t to be worried about than Facebook nonsense?
sure. like Neil's set only being an hour long
I had been really struggling with whether or not to get tickets for this. I still am, but this will make ultimately deciding I can't afford it a little easier.

I'd check the thread for it first. Might be some people with free extra tickets. (talking about Global Festival tomorrow in NYC)

UTK hasn't? Our campus has a 5-story pay garage, but since it's a reserved lot, students with general parking tags are EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN to park there. Parking cops are total schmucks about it, too.
Unfortunately, faculty/staff don't have specific lots. Most of the lots closest to my building are Reserved ($292/yr) and I refuse to pay that! Parking in the morning can take 45mins of driving around campus looking for a spot since we have so few general lots... MFers.
Bottom line: Holls now walks to work most days.
EDIT: Oh yeah, my campus admits they oversell the parking permits. We have 12K students; they probably sell 15K tags. Parking is a quacking NIGHTMARE here.

AH! I was confused.
Damn, I wish I had known about Global Fest before 30 seconds ago.

Being the flagship institution has its priviledges, I guess. I don't know how packed UTC is, but UTK has been successful recently with acquiring property in Fort Sanders, so expansion has been easier for them.
