Change for the sake of Change

I'm not one that believes that changes should be made to something just because there is a new administration or whatever. Change for the sake of change can be dangerous in the fact that you may change something that is working, or you may disrupt the flow or order of what has been established. It's been hard for the 'veteran' tutors and the 'rookies' to mesh, but we've gotten there. I would hate to see things changed that would hurt this-- or to use a cliche, rock the boat. I know that we are supposed to avoid cliches like the plague, but I like to be purposely ironic.

Anyway, one thing specifically that I do not want to see is the turning of a fun place into a tomb-like atmosphere, where talking and joviality are discouraged. I admit I'm not the most reverent or always the most professional person in the world, and maybe I'm trying to defend something that caters to MY needs. However, I HATE going into places of business that are uptight, where people don't act like people but robots. I'm afraid if policies were put into place that would inhibit the showing of personality or having any fun, then I'm afraid I would have to make my exit. I think people like to come into a place where it is light-hearted and fun. You can have both-- the fun, and the professionialism.

I would like to see those overly large round tables taken out and something smaller, that allows for more room overall, to be brought in. It seems really cramped in that room. Other than that, I don't really have a problem with anything that goes on in the Writing Center. I consider a lot of the other people that work there to be friends and I would hate the chance to mingle and have fun with them. I just wouldn't enjoy going anymore.
