Maintenance is gay. You should get signs and hang them above your cords, saying: Do not traverse in between and on this section of the room, or else you will be kicked out.
Yeah the cords have been taken care of now so you can't really trip on anything. I always tell people to not walk on them because it also rubs the copper together inside the cables and ruins them pretty quickly - and seeing as each cable is over $50 it can get expensive to replace real quick.
I can see what you mean with the room overhanging. It's actually just the angle of the picture. I held the camera high for this one so its distorts things a bit.
