Why I suck at my new job as an RA

"I'm not here to get anyone into trouble. If you get yourself into trouble, though, then I have to do my job. And nobody wants that. Well, I mean, uh...I want to do my job. But that doesn't mean I want to get you into trouble. Because, uh...so if I did a tie dye night sometime soon, would anyone come?"

-- Me, doing my best unintentional Woody Allen impression at my first floor meeting, which lasted all of 7 minutes. 7 long, awkward minutes.

As a student, I can tell you with a good amount of confidence: No, no one will come to a tie dye night.

Really? As in we tie dye shirts at the night, not just a night where we all just sit around and wear it.



So many effing hippies around. I thought I was meeting them halfway.

To me an RA is a Research Assistant (aka graduate student). What is an RA to you?

I think Puggy is a Residence Assistant. Which means he's a student living in the dorms that sort of semi-supervises the other students. And lets them cry on his shoulder when their boy/girlfriend breaks up with them. And tells the dorm director when they're smoking weed without putting a towel under the door and opening the windows.



At least that's what they did when I lived in the dorms.



And Puggy, it sounds like you'll do fine. Just relax. It's not all about hall meetings.

In all honesty, my RA freshman year tried to hold a whole bunch of activity nights for us. Even the ones that sounded like they had fun potential no one went to. Unless you're provinding them with beer and condoms, it is very unlikely that they'll risk looking like nerds by going to an RA planned event.

Makes sense now. I'd forgotten dorm life. The food was great, but everything else sucked. Our "RA's" were called HF's: "House Fellows". I kicked my roommates ass my freshman year because he was an Indian, excuse me, Native American, excuse me again, 1/8th Sioux who as an absolute Emerson because the white man took his land 400 years ago. Somehow he felt he deserved to have his every need taken care of by the white man (me) because of the injustices done to his people. Him heap big jerk.

Look, the tie dye isn't my idea. The supply center has some easy craft programs put together that are apparently really good if it's your first house program and you want everything basically done for you cuz you're totally lost. So it's either tie dye or sand art. And who likes sand art? No one. Not even sand's mom.



Besides, my only other program idea was an Oscar party with a prize for whoever predicts the most winners. So save some of your gay jokes for that eventuality.

My RA happened to live in our suite and she was so cool. She and one of the suitemates shared the same name, Elizabeth, and bizarrely enough had the same nickname - Libbie. So to tell them apart, everyone called them Licentious One and Libatious One.

Puggy, I'm sure that you'll start to feel more comfortable in yournew position as time passes. Once you do, I know you'll be able to think of ideas that would interest the kdis there. Untin then, you just have to learn through trial and error.
