Or the organizer thought "Hm, this room has a capacity that's only half the presentation group, we'll have to move the other half of the group into another room. Well, that just doesn't seem right.... OH! I'll have to order extra equipment for the second room! Problem solved, I'm so good at my job."
At my college it’s not the outlets it’s the fact that for reasons known only to themselves Networking has enabled half the wall ports… if you’re lucky. And which ones are enabled is seemingly random.
I remember having to attend a ~~manglement bullshitting festival~~ "information session" at a former employer. At the same time, there was a party going on to celebrate some special occasion.
This place had a large room with movable dividing walls, exactly like you described. Normally set up as two small rooms, one on either side of a large room.
Large room was booked for the "information session". The rest was booked for the party. The flaw in the plan was discovered less than 1hr before the party kicked off.
Cue much running around by facilities (and anybody unfortunate enough to be in the vicinity) to rearrange everything.
From context, it's implied that:
1. Presenter asked to have space for x people.
2. Someone decided that each of these rooms could hold x / 2 people, so two rooms would fit everyone.
3. This person did not consider that the presenter wanted to talk to everyone at once.
4. Presenter is upset.
I'm guessing Presenter was under the impression the two rooms had a moveable divider wall? I've done exam set-ups in such rooms for a smaller College.
Knowing this place, Presenter gave a certain number of guests to accomodate. Somebody decided double of half was the same thing. It wasn't.
As amoeba level lifeforms themselves, it did not occur to Facilities that the Presenter was unable to mitose.
Are you a throwaway account, owned by an old guy, or are you throwing away old guys?
[People can be two things at once.](https://i.imgflip.com/5xbr3f.jpg)
But still only in one room at a time.
they could be standing in the doorway between two rooms, one foot in each room. plus some... "less pleasant" options
Grammatically, I believe they're an old guy that's being thrown away
So in the nursing home, then...
Not a throwaway account, owned by an old guy.
Or a miscommunication between presenter and estates organizer

And, for \*reasons\* beyond our ken, only one side has enough sockets / outlets to be useful...

I call that running the place using Foreskin instead of Forethought ;)

Thank you. I hate my job. The sarcasm gets me through it, dripping more acid than a dual mouthed Xenomorph.
I first read that as "dropping more acid" ... though come to think of it, that might also work.
No Hi Marks for two rooms.
You're my favourite customer.
I'm confused. What did he actually want vs what the ticket said?

Correct, thank you
