Part 2

I originally intended to write this post this morning, but a couple of my friends and some absinthe interfered with that happening. I ran into some classmates from high school and almost got kicked out of a bar (of course, it was mistaken.). But that's a story for another time. Here's the second installment of craziness.org...

Okay...so, the second time I come into contact with this problematic person is during an attempted room mediation with my Hall Director. When we get there, everyone has taken their stances. We ask everyone to share the problems that they are having with the other roommates. I'm already prepared because as you've read in the first episode I've confronted this person before. When we ask the problematic person what was the issues with the other issues, she goes on this whole tangent about something that has nothing to do with her. So I then politely ask her to discuss the situations where she is directly involved after hesitating, she continues talking. 

I don't say much, but it was this conversation when I realized that the woman is crazy. Then the argument happened. The Hall Director and I wanted to draw up a contract, but she was hellbent against it until the other director came back. So, I ended up writing an agreement that just said that any comments made towards the living situation were prohibited until they could be properly and thoroughly discussed. When I finished writing, things blew up. She was arguing that I was putting a negative spin on things. My response was that this was the language that you all just used. I think a dialogue would work better...

Problematic Person: I'm not signing that.

Me: Why not?

PP: You're putting a negative spin on things.

Me: This was the language you all just used. You just said this.

PP: How do you know, Harold? You weren't there.

Me: Are you kidding? I think you're criminally insane. I was just standing right there when you all said this.

PP: I am a writer and editor, Harold.

Me: That's awesome! I'm not changing this. Ok, how would you have me word this?

PP: "That includes all further comments" should be sufficient.

Me: That's vague, though. I'm simply using the language that you all used.

PP: Well...I'm not signing it.

Me: Ok.

I look at the Hall Director who approved what I wrote, and she simply wrote that the person refused to sign. Moving forward. I was so heated that I was laughing and shaking. I was thinking that I really got into with someone of words, LITERALLY! I'm not a rhetorical snob unless someone makes me like that. Oh but wait....there's more.

Stay tuned for the last installment of Craziness.org.
