gridlock...

something that i never noticed last year but that has been kind of an issue this year is that there seems to be a fair amount of doorway confusion in the law school building.

all of the stairwells have two doors on each floor, one for going in and one for going out. at least four times a week i encounter somebody going the wrong direction through one of the doors. people -- it works like driving: you stay to the right! it's really not that complicated.

at the beginning of the semester i thought it was just the influx of new students still learning their way around, but it's NOVEMBER now and i'm still practically getting hit in the nose on a daily basis by somebody who doesn't know where s/he's going...

but you wanna know the really annoying part? EVERY SINGLE TIME this happens to me (and it's almost daily), i immediately hear in my head that one line from prince's _raspberry beret_: "she walks in through the out door (out door)." and in my head it stays, until some other crap song takes its place... sigh...
