BATTLE OF THE BULLETIN BOARDS

It’s started. I’m not surprised that it has started I’m just surprised it took five days after the departure of our on site managers. Hazel has appointed herself the keeper of notices in our building. She moves things around and puts things in a straight line. While that annoys some residents, it’s not a horrible thing. But she also removes signs she does not like. She takes others down the morning of the event though some will check that day to confirm times. That makes people mad. Hazel prowls at night. She makes these changes when most are sleeping. Her sneakiness gets on nerves. If confronted she will deny that she makes these changes, and weep that no one believes her. However, she has a history of doing this.

Hazel moved and removed notices at will before our managers came. We even had a special meeting warning us all about leaving notices alone. A collection of absurd rules were laid out that one no enforced and were ignored by most.
1. No signs could be posted without an administrator’s signature on the notice. I defy anyone to find an administrator. They were in a different building and hidden behind locked doors.
2. Signs were to be removed only by administrators. That never happened. They only came to post notices.
3. Signs would be posted to clarify everything. Sorry, the signs only brought more confusion. All signs were on 8.5x11 sheets with very few words. They filled a board until Hazel came along to clean up. Our building has less information than the other, but it looks neat.
Signs ended up on windows, doors, in the elevator. When Hazel confessed after many days of anger at being accused (go figure), she said she would never allow a sign to be posted in the elevator. If they wanted her to stop, they would have to come tell here personally. That was a challenge to those she offended. They called and sent notes until the administrators came and ordered her to stop.

There are four bulletin boards in our building, one at the back door, one upstairs and two at the front door. At the front one is inside the building and the other is in the airlock. Hazel has moved notices that are only for residents to the airlock board. That was normally notices that never changed. The inside board constantly changes. She moved one outside because it was on orange paper and it didn’t look good in the building. A notice for deliver men had been posted on the window by the door where it would be seen. It has been moved to the airlock board. Another notice over the intercom was moved to the airlock board where it will never be seen. There is another board upstairs. If there are duplicate signs she removes all but one and leaves the one on the most obscure board. She says one sign is enough. Maybe for her as she checks each board every night.

Notes and calls to the administrators will begin tomorrow. They will be hounded until a special meeting is called and we are reminded that we are all silly little children. The administrators do not have the guts to address the people involved. Instead they will gather us all to tell us all to grow up. The attack will only make them more hated. They need to mature and deal appropriately with the offenders. There is only one. And everyone knows who it is. By the way, when the meeting is called to warn and condemn us, Hazel will not be there.
