- An internet system that flat out didn't work when I got here and the house corporation board president telling me there was no internet connection provided. Not so good for a sorority house full of girls raised in the technology age who legitimately depend on having internet access at their finger tips. Given that they start classes on Monday and may need to pull up class schedules and information, this access is key! Given that I have my own things to be doing, selfishly I also want access as well!
- Phone system issues causing complete rewiring of certain areas and uncertainty on the availability of voicemail / possible continued static on the line.
- Deck repair just outside the main door that everyone uses requiring members to use alternative doorways that are normally alarm activated after a certain time.
- The alarm system going off twice in the last 48 hours. Wednesday night's visit prompted a visit by two of the town's finest police officers whereas tonight I got to greet four of these wonderful men in blue. While I appreciate that they're just doing their job and I'd want them here this quickly if this was a real emergency, I wasn't planning on getting to visit with six police officers in such a short amount of time!
- Multiple bee hives discovered on the aforementioned deck. Not such a good thing when the interim house director (i.e. me) is severely allergic to bee stings (to the tune that I carry an Epi-Pen in case I ever get stung).
- Assorted plumbing issues due to reopening a sorority house after a summer of it being closed.
- Reminding the girls that I'm not their mother and that it's not my job to do their dishes after their late night snacks.
Here I thought I'd just house-sit while the full-time house director was out of town for the week. I didn't anticipate this being so hands on at all hours of he day and night! Why did I agree to do this?!?!
