Let's Complain! 
There's always something new to complain about when you're at Illinois Tech.
Well, I came back into work today at 5pm, after my three hour lunch break, and my boss and one of my co-workers walk in after trying to catch the 5:00 IIT shuttle to downtown. Funny thing is, it was only 4:55. So I had to listen to my boss rant about IIT and how much it sucks yet again. I shouldn’t be too hard on him, though, because he’s right. IIT does pretty much suck. And the bus shouldn’t be leaving at 4:55 if it’s scheduled to leave at 5:00.It’s not like this is the first time either. But I guess I get tired of hearing complaints about anything all the time, and complaints about IIT are never in short supply. At least Fitz (my boss) is trying to change things. He’s writing an email about the whole thing to somebody right now, and he’s already phoned three or four people. But it makes me wonder if it’s really worth it. I mean, things aren’t really going to change – at least not soon. One thing I’ve noticed is that while change is inevitable, it is often slow in coming when you’re dealing with institutions. The other lesson I’ve learned is that you can never simply complain – you always have to have a suggestion or solution in mind. Luckily, I’m sure Fitz has several ways in which things could be improved, and given the chance, I’m sure he could implement them. But chances are he’s not going to get that opportunity. Here’s to those situations that we cannot change, no matter how hard we try. May they continue to piss us off till eternity’s end.
