Stupid Boards

I hate bulletin boards.

As an RA, I have to make bulletin boards to put outside of my room. Somehow, though, they always end up being a time sink. Last year, I thought I could spare myself some future pain by making my bulletin boards in a single piece so that I could take the whole thing down and put it up again this next year.

I should have known better.

I found out that my bulletin board this year is a little bit differently sized than my one last year, so none of my old boards fit quite right. I can trim them down, but they look a little bit odd since I can never get it exactly right. Plus I have to change the names of which RAs are on duty since there are different RAs in the building.

Basically, what I thought would be a thirty second job (a few staples in the corner and done) turned into the familiar long process of trekking back and forth to the office to get a glue stick that I thought I was done with or print out another copy of something that didn't turn out right.

Stupid boards. At least I'm done for a month.
