Jan. 23rd, 2004 02:43 pmUpdate on the Unbalanced Student:
I came in this morning to find that we were in Orange Alert (or the music school equivalent, which would be G-sharp alert, I guess). Apparently after stopping by my office yesterday, Mr. Unstable had gone up to the Presidents Office to let THEM know what fools they were not to hire him, and they had a hard time getting him to leave. It was agreed that this had gone far enough, and the local cops and security were looking for him in order to take him to the hospital for some earnest conversations.
However, he was nowhere to be found. And, I was advised, there was a distinct possibility he'd find out people were hunting for him, get mad, and come after whoever he thought had "tattled" on him.
Hence the guard outside my office.
O, the joy.
Fortunately, it all worked out. (Except for the guard mistaking one of our faculty members for Our Delusional Friend. Oh, to have captured that on tape.) The Unbalanced One showed up for a meeting at the Counselling Center (!!), and went to the hospital quietly (though "I'll go, but I won't stay here" isn't the most reassuring quote).
Can I go home yet?

Glad security was taking this seriously!

Be careful. :) It's an odd little spice of life, isn't it?
