It doesn’t look like much

It doesn’t look like much, but the towel rack, pictured above, is the result of my handiwork at SU. The school provides lockers and shower facilities for bike commuters (awesome), but until recently no where to hang wet towels or damp cycling clothing (lame).

Enter me.

After much discussion about the possibility of a towel rack with the person who manages the lockers, she finally admitted that she didn’t have the authority to do anything about it. (I’ll never understand why people bother to tell you something can’t be done when they aren’t the person responsible for making it happen.) Undeterred, I walked over to Facilities and asked to speak with someone about the commuter showers.

The nice woman I spoke to was sympathetic about my problem, but she underestimated me, thinking I was just another whiny student. Not I! I came with a solution - a practical, easy to implement, inexpensive solution. It wasn’t perfect, but the school was willing to take my suggestion.

I was so pleased yesterday to find that the rack had been installed. I hung my wet towel on it, which was nice and dry when I returned later that day to change for the ride home.

Ta-da!
