azhdrake: When I was at the U I was working for the Queer Student Cultural Center at the college and that was great. Loved everyone there.
roguechlnchllla: Yeah, I might end up getting a part time job on campus at some point anyways. I just don’t need to, which is really great.
hatkirby: hell yeah workin with the big gays!
swbookworm: tbf one of the jobs was. very involved and actually technically full time once everything that went into it was factored in, but i did genuinely enjoy that one and it was *very* good for me in terms of social development (if that's the right term) so
swbookworm: queer student cultural center sounds like a rly good place to work
azhdrake: it was! Absolutely the best part of the University experience
hatkirby: the job i did that was the most fun was backstage work for student productions, like it was a very time and energy consuming thing but i loved it a lot, like setting up and striking the shows, and i was often backstage during the shows as the stage manager, corralling performers and yelling about condoms
swbookworm: ksdslkajdlskas thats great
hatkirby: please ask me about the condoms
azhdrake: Star 🤝 bees
azhdrake: Yelling about condoms in their university jobs
hatkirby: kjsdfhkjsdhfksd
hatkirby: UR RIGHT
azhdrake: I mean, I'm assuming that the condom thing is that people be fucking, but I could also see unlubricated condoms being used for various Theater Things™️
pallasvoid: god im waiting with bated breath for this condom story
hatkirby: ok so it's sort of a common practice that when you're using wireless mics, you put the mic pack into a condom before you clip it on the performer so that they don't sweat onto the pack and break it, WHICH HAPPENS A LOT performers get sweaty when they're dancing around and being dramatique. and the thing is that people somehow kept breaking their condoms?? which is a really funny implication on its own. but it also meant that one time I had the unenviable job of walking to the campus convenience store and asking the clerk "hey do you have any unlubricated condoms?" and she gave me this tired, defeated look, shook her head and said, "no, baby. we don't have those."
