You are absolutely right about the seriousness of the abuse that takes place on this campus. Yes, the police chief was given a job in Fresno, the financial aid officer who was receiving kickbacks was also able to resign withhout punishment, I don't even think they made her pay the money back & the staff member who was accused of theft WAS rewarded a settlement because of CSUB's misguided actions.

I have to admit, CSUB’s voice is a country-western hit just waiting to happen: “The Ballad of Nancy and Jane” could be the theme song for the trailer-trash remake of “Thelma and Louise.” I know every office has its own drama, some of it just silly. But there’s a lot that qualifies as serious abuse, and staff life at CSUB is definitely no exception. I remember a Californian story about the former

"Everyone knows I'm a disgruntled ex employee, with not one grain of truth to what I say."
Ok guys, you can put down the guns, I've said what you asked me to say!

I can't say where or when.

Was this 97-98? That was the year I was on the ASI Board and we dealt with Arciniega's Library Floor takeover and also the year Don (a Board Member) got his tires slashed when he tried to investigate MEChA's off-campus funding.

Holy hell.... I just got done reading all of it and I'm surprised I made it out of that blog alive!

*checks to see if head is intact and if ass hasn't been chewed off completely.

Honestly though, whoever started that blog had a great idea. Everyone needs a place to vent so they don't go crazy. Just hope it's not too late for some of them. haha. JK sorta

I normally don't use someone else's blog to plug books, but my first one was all about office culture. The Slam and Scream (written when my last name was different) was about my years as a NASDAQ clerk and later a legal assistant before going back to college at age 28.

I included LOTS of stories about cubicle culture, sexual politics, and more. Can't believe I spent so many

It's amazing what you hear when you listen ... Especially when they don't know you understand most of what they are saying.

Thanks for reading my rants Matildakay, and thanks for the shoutout NL!

I've been reading the CSUB Voice for a few months now. I work there, so these names have real faces to me. While I'm never directly involved in any of this ridiculous drama, I'm always affected by the results of people not doing their damn jobs.
I'm glad it's there, though. People need a place to vent and blow some whistles from time to time.

Everyone loves office gossip. This will make for some fun reading. And I love Cubicle Dwellers blog on Bakotopia. Your novel Cubicles is a comedy masterpiece I can't wait til its released.

Thanks for the links NL. :)

If I could get away with it, there is so much office goings on that I could write about. I dare to mention the office once in a while on my blog.

I really, really enjoy reading these Nathan
