if everything turns out wrong, i may have to sacrifice the next few weekends in camp. and all my efforts in.. wits, workshops, national day bomb sweep, weekend duties… come to zilch with the possibility of forfeiting all my off days.
i am involved in a stupid mistake which resulted in my laboratory not being locked. the number lock is faulty, since the hatch doesn’t really come out fully, so even if it seems locked there are times when it isn’t. the thing is.. whenever i use that door, i’ll make sure that it is locked properly. however, dozens of people use the door and sometimes, to make things convenient for themselves, they deactivate the number lock, and forgot to activate it back. either that, or they use it negligently without seeing if the lock comes back to normal. despite my countless tireless reminders, such incidents still happen. and being part of the members in the lab, i have to ensure that everything is locked. although that is quite hard to implement since people like to chill in my lab. so i left the place without checking. and two hours later the cos left the place as well.. without checking also. since we assumed that it would be locked anyways.
over the weekend, it was discovered that it wasn’t.
security officers informed, demanded an explanation and a written statement from all involved personnel (that includes me of course.) branch head requested a thorough investigation. in the statement i admitted that it was due to my negligence. so did the cos…. we made a terrible mistake because after that we discovered that there were witnesses. other people in our branch actually also helped to checked that the number lock was locked… so it could mean that someone else unlocked it after office hours.. but of course no one would want to admit it. but not blaming anyone here, because i believe the culprit may not even know that he did it since so many people do it all the time. and as a result, we are responsible for it.
but.. i do admit that it is our fault since if we have really checked it thoroughly we wouldn’t need to confess in our statement earlier on and rely on witness to get ourselves off the deep shit we landed into.
but i also cannot deny it’s suayness that gotten onto us since such incidents, as i’ve heard, aren’t that uncommon but no one was really caught.
anyway…. burnt next week as well. eighth august whole day have a seminar to attend to, and ninth is my national day duty. since i have all my off days suspended i can’t apply off for tenth and eleventh.. had intended to do that to take a break from all these shit actually.
all these took place yesterday, although investigations are still pending now. i placed the good luck charm (which i’ve totally forgotten ever since i returned from perth) in my wallet yesterday night. and we are all pleading for leniency. chances look good… hopefully everything will be ok.
Cause you had a bad day
You’re taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don’t know
You tell me don’t lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You’ve seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
