Locked in!! (almost)
I'm currently in my room at Old Kent Ridge Hall. Sadly, I have to spend my time here while waiting for the locksmith to come instead of going out to settle my more important stuff. This temporary location for me during this vacation is old and needs maintainance. The lock for my room is not working, meaning that the door's lock is locked, but the door is still ajar. So, now I cannot close my door nor leave my room, unless I risk my belongings to be stolen. Just told the management office staff and he tried his best to repair it. But still, I have to wait for the expert to come to unlock my room so that I can lock it back. Sounds confusing? Yea. I was lucky (or smart) when I sense that the lock seems to be in bad shape when I tried to lock my door on my way out. Instead of leaving the place, I tried to turn the key when the door is ajar and STUCK!! Yeap, luckily, if not, I'll be the one of the rarest case of locked in. So, here I am, waiting for him to come and unlock my door.
I am tired, exhausted from the past few days of "work". The few of us have been busy slotting in mail, pasting stamps and labels, and stamping the OSA name and NUSSU emblem on the envelopes. It sounds easy, right? Just slotting in and you can just do it within seconds, if not minutes. But imagine doing that for 5500 envelopes!!! That's crazy!!! First day was fine, around 18 people came, and we finished slotting and pasting 2000 pieces. No stamping yet. Second day, around 9 people came, and we finished another 2500, also no stamping yet. Third day, I was shocked when I went there… TWO people!!! luckily as time goes by, more people came to help. In total, 7 people.
It's not really my jobscope, I personally feel. It should be team work, effort by the six project committee members (around 100 of them). I'm not complaining about helping out. I do not mind helping out. Just that I am disappointed with their attitude. I think these minority of people are just too selfish. What can I do about them? NOTHING!! Well, just take life easy and yeap, the proverb is true~ “Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.”
And guess what, by the time I finish this sentence, my door is repaired. The locksmith just came to change a new lock and it's working fine again. Although this place is old, the staff are efficient after all. Now, I can happily go out and do my work without having to worry about my door.
