- Well, at least you went to Ed Services...SOME folks (not
- me) went to the parking department, filled out all the
- forms ("drivers license, vehicle registration, campus
- id, blood type, DNA structure, retina prints PUHleese)
- and then found out they had to stroll up to Ed Services
- ANYWAY!!!!
-
- I note that SOMEONE (not me...) took a spray can to
- the building that Parking lives in....the slogan
- "F*CK THE PARKING DEPT.", while not very original,
- is quite pithy and au courant.
-
- Wanna know how the Parking Dept. picked 5$ as a fee for
- parking stickers? D'yah spose they actually sat down
- and looked at their budget, figured out what they
- needed, asked the B'dness Office for suggestions?
-
- Naaaaaaaaaaaaah.......THAT would make SENSE.
-
- 5$ is a number pulled out of thin air...or
- out of SOMEwhere....
-
- So, Larry, properly speaking one should write it dis way:
- "Enema Zoo parking stickers cost 5$ *THIS* year"......
-
- <Wonder why our enlarged NMSU Parking Department couldn't handle this?
-
- Because it's a training ground for future Department of
- Motor Vehicle personnel?
-
- <(I guess they don't trust those folks to collect money..)
-
- Damned straight they don't, and with good reason!!!
-
- < Having a resource like parking at our state university doled out in this
- < manner is a peeve in itself. But when we are forced to wait over an hour
- < to receive a paid permit for such, well, that really frosts me.
-
- Stick around (like you have a choice, with that crummy
- airconditioning in the New PSL-East Annex....);
- the Legislature may well decide that since Enema Zoo
- is collecting all those bucks for parking, the general
- appropriation for this place can just be cut by
- exactly the same amount....
