Logical Programmers

As it turns out, there has been some controversy about room assignments at Media Design School (http://www.mediadesignschool.com/) in the Game Development Department. I won't go into the details, but someone in management seems to have screwed up and has too large of an ego to rectify the situation (with a five minute fix, which everyone in the games and tech department has suggested). The result is that the two IG (Diploma of Interactive Gaming) classes have to swap rooms half way through the day, and an extra room has to be booked on Fridays.

When we notified our students about the room swap, even without telling them anything else, one of the students remarked to another: ``that`s not logical, they should have programmers in managment,`` which to us is hilarious, since a programmer is in management, who is pushing the decision through, although he refuses to provide justification as to why the decision was made. Or rather, he avoids the questions and pretends to have answered the question every time we, or the tech department, asks him why the decision was made even when we have a five-minute solution.

On well, I suppose that`s what you have to deal with when you work at a small company where personal relations factor into who gets a certain role. I`m sure we`ll make the best of it.
