i have just received this mass email from my RA(resistant assistant aka a girl that i really dislike). during a spot check either yesterday or today, the office people had found the pantry opposite room 617 (on the other end of the corridor from my room) is indecently dirty and decided to lock it up. now this RA who stays beside me (another fact that i hate coz she is very loud) decided to get some volunteers to clean it up (i got no idea how when it is locked up. break in?) or keep it locked and impose a 10 dollars fine on EVERYONE on this floor, to hire more cleaners. and then she asks everyone of us to label the food we put in the fridge and label the expiry date as well, else she'll throw it all away.
firstly, issit legal for a non-authoritive person to impose a fine as she wishes? not mentioning that not EVERYONE is using that damn pantry. as for me, never set foot there before. how fair is that i've got to pay to clean up other people's ass?
and about the cleaner, isn't it the management's duty to hire cleaners? since when should the students pay for that? the cleaning lady we have now, according to the same RA, is 70 yrs old and suffering from all kinds of disease possible. then why on earth is she still hired if she can't do a good job? not that i am not sympathetic but this is a student residence not a welfare organisation.
to label the food in the fridge, fine. but on every tiny little thing? nah... i dun think so. further more, label expiry date? are you kidding me? how long can a piece of ginger last? dun ask me, i dunno... hmm... how about the left over food i m keeping for the next meal? should i label it as one day or two days? eggs... hmm let me see? typically one months? how about frozen meat? forever? this girl has either no brain or no common sense.
