Out Of Order

Day 5

What did I do today? Other than going to class, I played pond hockey, watched Wrist Cutters for the first time, played tag on the chairs in the social room (I really don't know why it's called the social room, cause it's only ever used for meetings), had an insightful, feel-good, very depressing conversation, and put an Out of Order sign on a light switch. I learned from my friends later that I was being unoriginal (I guess a lot of people put Out of Order signs on light switches?), but I think it worked well enough. I sat on the couch next to the light for the next few hours, having the conversation mentioned above. At first I was worried that one of the staff members who had been hanging around would notice and figure out it wasn't actually broken, but after a while, with no one lifting an eyebrow, I relaxed. This could certainly be a commentary on people, and how they simply accept the word of authority without question, content to live in the dark. Or it could just be interesting to see how long it takes for anyone to realize it's not actually out of order. It could conserve energy, it could be stupid, or the sign could fall off. Either way, it brought just a little more enjoyment to my day.
