I finished the layout of the CSO (Council of Student Organizations) Manual this morning. My editor-in-chief told me to be in school at 10 AM to submit the blueprint and the layout. Fine, I was a little late — only by about 5 to 10 minutes. But was that enough reason for me to wait for 3 hours before I get to submit the goddamn thing? I arrived there at 10:05 AM and I only get to hand down that stupid little black diskette by 1. You see, The core group of the CSO was having a meeting and my editor-in-chief was the publications cluster head so he was at the meeting. It took several hours. And all the long while, I was just sitting there at one corner of the office trying to take a nap and trying to shrug all the wait off. Okay. I’m not feeling bad against my editor-in-chief or anybody. He looked very embarrassingly sorry to me enough. And I never felt bad against him in the first place. I just simply feel bad. I’m doing this layout deal for the CSO as a request. And I just realized that I am an unrequited worker. I’m not even part of the core group of the CSO, why should I bother? I’m not even paid to do this. It’s not even my duty or job to do this. But I’m doing it. And yet I feel so out of place.

Sigh. I really felt so bad and out of place that time. Sitting so quietly at one corner while watching those big people from the CSO having a meeting over some snacks. While my stomach grumbled for lunch. While I waited for hours just to hand over a pathetic diskette.

I was finally able to leave at about 1:30 PM.

Anyway, I have another deadline tomorrow to finish the final layout of the revised Freshman’s Guide. Hopefully, they won’t let me revise any more things. I’m sick and tired of working with layouts and seeing that Adobe Pagemaker window.
