Pallets and pallets of chairs - oh my!
Today when I walked on campus there were about 20 columns of chairs - these are on pallets, with the chairs stacked at least 6″ high, way over my short head. Our friends from Facilities are breaking the pallets down and are beginning to lay out the chairs on the Quad today. This is down to a science. The areas of the ground are measured out, the chairs placed just so.
It reminds me a little of the vineyards in Dijon (where I went on the WFU exchange program). You can walk through the rows upon rows of chairs and they are all in perfect order, symmetrical, beautiful. I am a huge fan of the Georgian architecture here, so any time we can get balance and symmetry it makes me feel good.
The sky is ominously cloudy. I just dared take a peek at the 10 day forecast. Because I am superstitious by nature, I won’t say what it is. I don’t want to jinx anything. But if you are reading this, please find a reverent moment to ask for good weather.
