Yup, that's right -- I was volunteered for a pie in the face. I knew nothing about it until I looked at the sign above the elevator in my dorm. It said:
"Revenge is Sweet
Pie is Sweeter
Which RA will YOU
hit in the face?"
Then it said, "Who's ahead?" and surprise of surprises, THERE'S MY NAME!!
WTF?!? I don't remember agreeing to this, and I'm sure it's not in my contract. There is that "other duties as assigned" clause that covers all the stupid shit they make me do, like forcing me to go to a costume dance dressed as my favorite Nintendo character, or eating nasty Italian food at my boss' boss' house. Or mopping up puke. However, I refuse to allow a pie in the face as an "other duty as assigned."
If, perhaps, we had had a better group of students this year, I would think differently. If my things had not been stolen, written on, burned, ripped or profaned, I probably wouldn't mind. If there wasn't a "Jai Sucks" written on the wall, I would think about it. However, since I have been targeted and harassed all year, I don't think it's a good idea for me to be in the running for a pie in the face. Just a thought.
More importantly, however, I think I should have been, you know, asked if I wanted to participate rather than someone assuming that I would gladly take a pie in the face. I realize it's a fund raiser and all, but you're still supposed to ask people if they wish to participate before you put their name on a jar.
There's my little rant for the evening. And now I want pie. Damn.
