Things that make my job difficult
I just received an email with a link to this video of some residents pranking a Penn State RA.

Oh boy, here comes the difficulty with my position. Showing disrespect to a University official (and this includes our student staff) is not ever an acceptable behavior. RAs are placed on the front lines to enforce policies and build community with their peers. This is not often an accepted or admired role unfortunately. The students doing this prank were not having fun with their RA buddy but were actually doing it out of spite.
The prank itself though is so funny. Pranking a friend like this would be great so watch out...I may be coming to a door near you :)

Oh the poor RA-- totally funny to do to a friend though, but out of spite--that blows...
we did something like that to our RA freshman year of college, but we actually really liked her, but we did it by stacking beer cans up her door-- it was funny
And when I was a hall director, somebody duct taped another hall directors door and he couldn't get out-- i think they did it cause they liked him though.
