Officials' Accomodations

He sits there and will not let us use his "space". It is already crowded...but, he just stays and makes sure nobody gets near his precious chair and desk.

I'm a pretty easy-going person, but I'd be asking the AD for a place where the crew can get some privacy.

I've had a coach/teacher come in and get something and leave, but staying, for any reason, is a different story.

I'm exaggerating some...he's not there ALL the time, but enough of the times I've been there over the past few years, that I did "good naturedly" mention it to the AD last year.

The AD said, "yea, he is pretty particular about people using his desk and messing it up."

I have to agree, somewhat. We officials should ALWAYS make sure the place we use is cleaner, or at least as clean, as when we got there. And that is not always the case.

Many times, I am going around picking up water bottles and towels that have just been left where some officials last used the items.

Getting in a pi$$ing match with the AD and Wrestling Coach is not a battle I really care to get into. If the Dude wants to sit there and watch a bunch of guys get dressed and listen to basketball talk...actually his back is to us as he "works" at his desk...oh well.

For some people, it's not just about leaving it as clean as you found it; it's about leaving everything in the precise position in which he left it. I work a few of these types, and if you so much as move the stapler half an inch, it drives them crazy. Further, it may be about the insecurity they feel when leaving others alone with their things.
