lauraldanne’s blabbernothings

Masarap sanang murahin ang sekretarya ng hayskul ko.

If only I could do that, I would. But of course, I have to be the bigger person and not reduce her to something less than human.

I’ve already blogged about how I asked my friend Eleanor to get Kuya and me new copies of our Form 137-A from our high school. Since Ronald had already gone through the arduous task a year before, I decided that he sit this one out coz he’s been in such a rut lately. I had to call my high school and request it and then I sent the FAX letters for both Kuya & me (one for each of us) and had to call back to make sure they received it and that they read the contents of the letters properly. Well, of course, the secretary didn’t even bother and insisted that she only make one copy for each of us. I repeated myself over and over and told her that we cannot open the envelopes because opening them would make them void and unofficial.

When Eleanor picked up our forms, she told me that the secretary told her that this would be the last time I could request for a form and that I was hard-headed and stubborn. Heck yeah, I’m stubborn, especially if people insist on not doing their jobs as they’re supposed to.

I received one envelope a couple of weeks ago, to my dismay. I thought Len had forgotten to pick up a form for Kuya as well. Or maybe the post office lost it. I sent her offline messages on YM since I couldn’t call her. When she finally did go online, she told me that there were two forms inside the envelope.

Crap.

I was furious because Len said the secretary insisted that they only send one envelope. Why the bloody hell? She clearly wasn’t listening to me when I told her we aren’t allowed to open envelopes. While I was in a phone conversation with the secretary, she said she can only make one copy for each of us, and it would be our responsibilty of having them photocopied. Uh, why can she not make more than one copy when these are my records? I seriously wanted to talk to the registrar when I was talking to her because she was just frustrating me. A form is worth 50 pesos, so naturally, that includes an envelope for each request, right? She isn’t paying for them, so why be so tihik in giving an envelope. And it was only addressed to me. Hello?! That is the very reason why I sent them TWO AUTHORIZATION LETTERS, so that she would be aware that these are TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE requesting for a form. Stupid moron.

I’m mad at her.

This morning, Len sent me offline messages apologizing for the mishap, and asked me if I was mad at her. I may be a little iffy at Len coz she didn’t insist on separating the forms like what Ronald would have done. But bottomline is, it isn’t her fault that the secretary is stupid.

She even had the gall to say I’m the stubborn one?! Well, she’s the one who ignored my discrete instructions. Not thinking. tsktsktsk.

May God bless her.
