they are just lazy slobs

Almost forgot another item from the Rules Committee. It had been suggested that they extend the hours for depositing trash down the trash chute. The current hours are from 7am to 10pm. Some people it seem, come in after-hours and just leave their trash in the room, next to the chute. Either kind residents or the maintence people then come along and put it down the chute for them.

The rules committee decided NOT to extend the hours, as "those people are just a bunch of lazy slobs, and extending the hours would not alter their behavior." And yet the person who reported this from the rules committee took offense when the representive from the architecture committee cited "the way people live" as a potential reason for not allowing glass doors. Luckily there were no rocks in the meeting room, or someone might have gotten injured.

On a happier note, each floor will be getting new recycle bins so that in addition to paper, residents can also leave plastic, aluminium and glass. Previously it was required that you go to the garage to do so. B (who spent maybe one too many semesters at Berkeley) is thrilled.
