3 Monks have no water

The pantry helper ‘Aunty’ has not come for work for 3 days.

 

And then – mayheim

 

Although there are people who clears away the rubbish, the pantry is totally chaotic.

 

The coffee pot is near empty – people just drink coffee and then don’t bother to refill it.

 

The hot flask is also at the lowest water mark – people just press and go.

 

The cups people used filled an entire sink – people just take and use then dump it into the sink.

 

The fridge is empty – people just take whatever is there and when there’s no more, they simply take from the cartons nearby and not bother to refill the fridge. Let’s see what happens when the cartons also run down.

 

The water dispenser is empty – people just press and refill and go off. When there’s no more water, they just take from the fridge.

 

So, the very pissed-off me tried to refill the water today. And if you have ever done it, you would know how heavy it is. I can’t do it (and I just had a flu jab on my arm today) and so I had to called my colleague to help. Together, us 2 girls, rolled, pushed, lifted, kicked, pulled…did everything we can to move the heavy tub onto the dispenser.

 

So that everyone else who comes in can have some water to drink.

 

It just reflects the morale of 3 monks having no water – because everyone is waiting for someone else to do it.

 

I don’t understand why can’t they wash their own cups after use, or help to get the water tub onto the dispenser. Are we really so busy that it’s not possible to do these things?

 

And what if ‘Aunty’ doesn’t come back for another week, the pantry would be totally ‘disabled’.
