very pissed today. read at your own risk.
i'm finally seeing the negative part of being QM la. we're like the DOGS of the band la. the whole day i keep hearing this:
QM!! i need scotchtape!
QM!! i wan buy reed!
QM!! open the store!!
QM!! open the bag room!!
QM!! open the gym!
QM!! open the perc. store!!
QM!! i need u to come early tmrw!
QM!! this inst need repair.
QM!! i wan new bag.
QM!! open audi.
QM! open the field.
QM!! help me take out mouthpiece. AND THE LIST GOES ON.
i know alot of ppl keep saying QM slack. no need fall in and bla bla bla bla. but honestly. do u think we would rather do some shit work like stock-checking, waiting for ppl to come for band and get their stuff before we can finally lock up and fall in?
ITS NOT EASY.
take today for example. i came at 8++. opened the store. waited till nadzirah and raudhah came. went to watch their "sectionals". then andrew came and call me cause repairman came and we had to carry all the inst up. then all the way ppl blocking like nobodys business. then after that all the ppl come and say this inst also need repair, that inst also need repair. so we had to bring it all down again.
then after repairman leave, more people come to us and tell us more inst spoiled. like wtf la. now then tell.
then had my sandwich thing for brunch. then Mr siao wanted the inst list. only clarinets havent give. so i went to xingjie in the bag room. this is an example of why i say we QMs are dogs.
me: xingjie, i need the inst list now.
XJ: aiya later i give u.
me: no, mr siao need it now..
XJ: (half-stands, then sits.) aiya u go get urself la..
me: huh?! just go get la.. only 1 minute of ur time wasted.
XJ: eeyer dun wan la i eating leh. u go get its in the store room.
me: ok fine which part.
XJ: behind the black file.
me: huh what black file?
XJ: AIYA just go into the store room and open the cupboard u will see a black file the list is behind there.
so i went and get it.. then had to run arnd the school looking for SLs who didnt complete their lists. then when fall in i was told to open the audi. went in. pitch black. turned on the side lights then went to the 3rd floor doors to unlock and to on the lights. strangely, the lights couldn't be turned on. alan came in and tried. still wouldnt on.
i was frantically running arnd the school seeking help and looking for transponder to open control room because our transponder cannot open. so in the end the school servants came and did something in the control room and the lights turned on. then i had to wait for latecomers and sec 1s who were getting their jackets before i can lock up the bag room..
then finally went into audi and 10 mins later we were sent to the field. i chionged to open the store and perc store. then chiong down to open field. rush for nothing. the band came down 5 mins later. then fall in.. then have to fall out here and there because of more latecomers, and ppl that needed to go home.. then after band best.
wanted to punish band because canteen was dirty. punish not even halfway bong seng tell us not to punish let all go home. so we no choice, listen to alumni. fall them out. then majors come scold me. LIKE WTF MAN. its not our fault. bong seng tell us one wad. then heard from others that majors wanna punish QMs. ok fine. but have to have a valid reason right. listen to our reasoning first la.
oh and by the ****ing way. i so damn pissed with the alumni and the seniors who keep coming to me and scolding me: EH KENNETH U HAVE TO GUIDE CHERIE./ EH KENNETH CANT U CORRECT UR JUNIORS?!
CANT U PEOPLE SEE THAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO DO THAT SINCE BLOODY JANUARY?! ITS NOT AS IF I NEVER RIGHT. sometimes i correct also no use. then what to do when she cry? fk sia.
then after band have to run arnd the school again. locking up the shit school. and then all the ppl wan buy reed. wan change bag. wan open mouthpiece. wan new logbook. then i'm running all arnd the darned place. then some ppl still got the cheek to shout at me even when i'm so stressed. seriously. i think i'm gna burst soon. then while i'm running arnd the school every1 think i playing. all disturb me. call me for fun. cant u see ppl stress?!
AAARGH. DAMN IT. and so, the only thing i can do is strive on.. and hope i really manage to succeed in this task i have been given.
