Good news everybody! With reopening imminent, the gremlins have moved back in to the space.
Sadly laser will be unable to accept their donation of a bike, drop ceiling hangers, and a dolly. I moved them around so I could continue to prep the area, but if whoever left this stuff could come by and find a better home for it soon, that’d be great. It wasn’t fun to walk into a freshly cleaned committee space and find people already leaving stuff scattered around.
One step closer to normal… 
Sorry,
That was someone who was midway through fixing the hole in the ceiling over the back bay door. I think the gremlins took the right size ceiling tiles so they couldn’t finish.
How the heck was the bicycle used for this… 
Video, or it didn’t happen…
If the space is closed to members then it would be a good guess it was someone in leadership that has access did this. Call them out.
And people wonder why it’s hard to get help around this place…
That’s good to hear. I looked around when I walked in and it seemed like they had finished the ceiling work and not cleaned up the extra railing, which, having spent a bunch of time cleaning up laser, was pretty disparaging.
No point in calling people out by name, this is far from the only instance (I’ve been guilty of this too) and sending the pitchforks at them won’t do anyone any good. I’m just trying to point out that, while we’re all up here trying to clean the space, let’s try not to add to the mess.
Bike is up for grabs, eh?
It was a volunteer who left the stuff while he was waiting on the correct size tiles. I am happy to call out the fact that the volunteer repaired the broken rails put in the tiles he could and fixed tiles in the old machine shop, lobby and interactive as well.
Among other things the volunteers have done:
I know it’s not the “Call out” you wanted, but its the Call Out you are getting. The volunteers who have stepped forward have kicked serious ass. They deserve a huge shout out for their awesome work.
Cranky ol…
I wouldn’t disagree with giving them a shout out at all and I have seen some awesome work done. I do think when things like this happen it’s worth the person who did it to step up and say, yeah I did, it. I shouldn’t have. “Can someone help me out with it? I need some help too.” Calling people out doesn’t have to be a negative.
If you have something to say go ahead and say it instead of trolling.
Sorry I’ll take ownership of this huge problem. I guess I got distracted doing repairs on ceiling in the rest of the space. I’ll try to be more careful next time I’m working my butt off trying to get the space ready to open.
Welcome to DMS leadership.
Here’s the callout: thank you!!
Well said @grahamb. Since I too often jump to the “Hand me m pitchfork” solution, this is another reminder that, while every picture tells a story (great Faces album, BTW), it often is the whole story.
