New Job

So I have officially become an employee of a tech company that develops scientific grade cameras. I will be starting work this Christmas break and will work during my free time next semester. I can now quit my job as a Resident Assistant (RA) and get away from all the ridiculous aspects of working for the Department of Residence Life here at USM. I am very excited about all of this and cannot wait until I am no longer an RA.

I have become increasingly fed up with Res Life at USM during my time as a RA. I feel that the people who work in the department are extremely unprofessional and live in a bubble isolated from the real world. I am pretty sure that all the upper-level employees started as RAs and worked their way to their current position, never experiencing work outside of residence life. This has severely limited the way they see the world and has created a distorted view of their importance to this world. Somehow they feel that their contribution to the lives of college students is the greatest possible achievement of human existence. Little do they realize that nearly no college students benefit from anything they do or even care that about "residence life."

Ugh, I am just so glad I can finally get away from this horrible job.
