update dari perpustakaan. (alamak dari ke daripada? risau, risau.)

the annoying librarian strikes again -___-"

i was printing some of the notes i noticed were missing after arranging my files this morning, and when i went up to the printing room i saw this poor girl being lectured by Al (read: Annoying Librarian, bukan nama ringkasan untuk Aleena, Alissa dan sebagainya) because she didn't remove the background colour of her slides, thus slowing the printer. ye lah that's a lot of toner wasted, but she's, like, twenty. you don't have to lecture her, cakap sekali dah la kan.

then she went all 'uhmmm...those aren't mine' when the printer kept printing notes, because Al just stood beside her and kept on yapping about it. haha...i bet those notes actually are hers. how else would it be there. i would've said the same thing to him though, if i was her.

then he turned round to me and said 'did you send something through?'

i said no, and waited for the printer to stop printing before sending in my things (and wishing so hard for him to leave the room). he walked out as i started keying in my student number in the computer, but then he stopped and said in his usual loud annoying booming voice;

"ALWAYS CHECK THAT THE PRINTER SCREEN SAYS READY BEFORE YOU SEND DOCUMENTS IN"
"but I saw the 'data' light not flicking anymore, which means it's done printing" (degil)
"THE GIRL JUST NOW CAUSED A JAM BECAUSE SHE SENT HER STUFF IN BEFORE THE PRINTER WAS READY"
"uhh...yeah, okay." (mengalah dengan orang tua)

and then he just stood there, watching, blatantly wanting to make sure i checked. so i checked right before i clicked print, because i don't like having people talking to me in that patronising tone.

when i was printing, guess what he did? he just came up by my side, TOOK THE NOTES I JUST PRINTED OUT, and flicked through it. i assume he's checking whether i removed the background tone (thank God i did). but no matter WHATT his reason is, that's just RUDE, okay. at least ask for my permission first, he has no right to do that, librarian or not.

urrghh...i hate it when he's on duty.


...on a happier note, got a surprise gift all the way from India today! Papa (otherwise known as Shidan) kirim this pretty kain sari for me through a friend who came over to Cork :D :D

Ya, sepatutnya begitu. DARI perpustakaan bukan DARIPADA perpustakaan kerana perpustakaan adalah tempat. :)
