community service = omg

Mar 05, 2007 18:03

ok. so i have to do community service for 8hrs because i have a stupid parking violation... i chose community service instead of paying 500 pesos because i'm trying to save up for the summer and it's for experience.. hehe..

anyway, i would just like to say that it's harder than people think! i was at ADSA from 1pm to 530pm today... ok, so it was a different day because the seniors are having their clearances signed and all.. can you imagine having to deal with A LOT of seniors who are submitting their clearances?? the task was to collect the clearance papers from the seniors and then check if they have hold orders then have them signed by Mr. San Andres. easy? you wish! hahahahaha..

the first problem was that there were A LOT of seniors. yes, we were working but the papers just kept on piling up on us... then there was the problem that the staff had other things to do besides sign the clearances... so we were asked to tell the seniors to just get their signed clearances tomorrow at 3pm. and here comes the bitchy part of the work... there were some who would just submit their papers and then leave... ok that's good. but there were the really annoying ones who would insist that they were earlier told to return at 3pm this afternoon to claim their already signed papers... the probmen was, THEIR PAPERS WERE NOT SIGNED YET! so they would go ranting on and on about how their time was wasted and all that crap but in the end, they still wouldn't get their papers because the papers weren't ready yet! then there are the really funny ones who, after being told to return at 3 tomorrow, would ask, "3pm?" HELLO!?!?!! OBVIOUSLY I MEANT 3PM! WHO WOULD GO PICK THEIR CLEARANCE UP AT 3AM?!!! come on people, use your brains!!! hahahaha...

anyway, at around 4pm, things started to die down... i was able to rest for a while because all i had to do was to alphabetize the clearance papers that were already signed...

and at 530pm, i was free to go...

ok, so this experience was really new to me... honestly, im tired right now... good thing the staff at ADSA were really kind and nice and funny (they were debating on whether or not they should eat the food that arrived for Mr San Andres. according to some, it's ok since he was not there so he wouldn't know.. hahaha..)

anyway, i'm going back there tomorrow, on wednesday and on thursday because i still have 4hrs of work left...

watch out for pics at my multiply account! hehehehehe...

ok, this entry was not meant to offend the seniors in any way, shape or form. yes, if i was a senior and i had to go through the whole "submission of clearance" process, maybe i would also be pissed off... but hey, i was at the other side of the window so i was calling the shots. hehehehe... people, these are my opinions. so deal with it...
