HENLE VILLAGE — Dealing with a 17 year old inquiry, Georgetown University Maintenance reportedly has not yet received the necessary part to fix the broken VCR in Henle 75.

The VCR in question was thrown out in 1999, around the time Napster debuted.

The complaint was filed with maintenance in 1997 by student Robert Millard (COL ’98), a resident of the apartment at the time while he and friends were watching “Clueless.”

“That’s too bad it hasn’t been filled yet,” said Millard, shaking his head.  “Those poor kids must still be watching ‘The X Files’ on their friends’ VCRs like we used to.”

Georgetown’s Director of Facilities Robin Morey told the Heckler that the order is “in process” and “will be addressed in the order it is received.”

Morey explained that she “incredibly proud” of the department and cited its recent technological progress.

“We’re doing a pretty good job of keeping on top of things here,” she said.  “All work orders can now be directly sent to the maintenance staff’s Palm Pilots.”

Morey revealed that facilities’ turn-around time on work orders is “superb,” allowing students to graduate, get a job, begin raising a family, and “just really settle down and get comfortable with themselves” before the problem is addressed.

The Department does, however, admit that there was a build up of unanswered work orders in the late 90s because of fears that all of the technology would be “rendered obsolete by Y2K.”

The facilities workers addressing the problem did not respond to being paged for comment.

At press time, the Heckler has learned that current residents of the home recently returned to the apartment to find “incredibly confused” facilities workers “gathered around the flat screen TV, poking it with a wrench.”
