I see a doorway, there is no door
That's right, as I mentioned, I have an office, but it has no door. Apparently, there are only two companies that make a door to fit this particular building. If I don't get a door by the first day of classes, I'm putting up hippie beads and installing a lava lamp, administration be damned.P.S. Can anyone identify the subject heading? Hint: It's Wesleyan-related.

My office was being used as the storage closet when I first showed up. I was working amidst boxes and old computer equipment for the first couple of weeks.
As for the subject heading, I have absolutely no idea. Butterfield inside joke? Something from the Ampersand? A piece of music by Alvin Lucier or Anthony Braxton? A rejected school Motto? (beats "The Independent Ivy")
Well, Adam Hirsch would know. Is that a good hint?
OK, is it a theater reference? That's all I remember about Adam Hirsch, except that he lived in our neighborhood in Madison.
It's too bad no one has called Adam Hirsch's attention to this thread (ahem), as I think he'd be able to clear it right up...
OK, I'm just going nip this in the bud right now, since no one seems to be paying any attention: an a-capella group at Wes sang a version of 'In Your Eyes' about Lo-Rise, the shitty upper-class housing units, some of which did not have bedroom doors. Their version included the aforementioned lyric.
So I am just finally reading these comments, and I realized that I have that album that the New Group's song is on (I was in an a cappella group at Smith that hosted the New Group one year). Funny stuff.
Also, do you mean the Adam Hirsch that is 3 years older than us? If so, he is now married to my best friend from Smith (how crazy, small world is that?).
Yeah, I know you know him, which is why I thought he might surf on by and respond. It's always 6 degrees in the blogosphere!
Sigh. Do I have to do everything? I'll go get Adam over here to weigh in.
Well, for duh: of course I catch the reference. (Though Brian Cimmet would have been just as authoritative as I would have been, or even more so.)
So, you want me to explain the line, Sarah? :)
Well, right, that's why I mentioned you in the first place!
Is there more to explain?
