Waste of time
This afternoon I attended a mandatory meeting outlining recent security policy changes on campus. These changes occurred as a result of an incident in which an ASU student murdered a former student outside of a club last year. I hoped that the meeting would provide useful guidelines for preventing violence on campus
My hope went unfulfilled. The tips ranged from marginally helpful but obvious to ridiculous. It was a waste of an hour and a half. Virtually everyone I know who has attended the meeting agrees. The time and money used to set up these mandatory meetings could have been used for actual violence prevention. All this over a tragic incident that happened off-campus and far away from university staff.
On top of that, though I left the house two hours before I had to be at work, I was still fifteen minutes late because of the buses. At least I got some extra time to listen to music:
- Ellen Allien & Apparat: Orchestra of Bubbles
- Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds: Henry's Dream
- The Sugarcubes: Stick Around for Joy
- Spiritualized: Let It Come Down

Similar event with campus police at University of Washington.
Two hours. Most useful information: Think of that CD case in your car as having boxed up your CDs for the robber.
Mmmm. The Sugarcubes.
