Game Day Sucks

Today I got a singing telegram from the Jayhawk mascot of KU from the Chancellor and the Provost. It went like this:

KU: "Dear Students, please don't bother trying to come up to campus today to get anything done, unless you are going to the football game. We've whored out every single parking spot to the rest of the town. What, you need to go to the library? Well, you're either going to have to just walk up from home or find the one tiny parking lot we've kept open for students, faculty, and staff, but we're not going to tell you where it is. Ok fine, we will. It's on the exact opposite side of campus from the library. Oh, you've already been driving through the traffic jam-ridden campus for 20 minutes trying to find it? Well, at least you go there!

"As you walk to the library from this parking lot at the bottom of a gigantic hill, it's going to rain. Just so you know. Oh, and you really need to watch out for the marching band and the flag-whirling girls to whom we've given very expensive uniforms and equipment. We'd hate for you to break any of it.

"Just because we care so much about you, halfway through your printing job, you are going to run out of paper. Don't worry, the little phone we have set up just for this situation will be connected. All you have to do is call then wait 5-10 minutes for us to bring up a ream.

"Please remember that we very much value your education. We just value the money that comes in through our sports programs more.

"Rock Chalk!"

Me: "Fuck you, KU."
