I recently met a really really dumb thing, the dumbest ever happened in my life.

So we are located on the A level of building B.  It turns out there is a secret mailing list called deptR-B-officers@*.*.edu, which is supposed to list all people in department R who have office in B.  None of the people I know were listed, and I don’t even bother to ask if any is.

Any way,   on each level there was a refrigerator C_i, and  on C_i, there was a sign saying: “this refrigerator will be cleaned every first Thursday of each month”.  And there was a Sunday, the one in charge of all C_i decided that she wanted to make everybody suffer for her dumbness, and sent an email to the mailing list mentioned before saying that she’s going to throw away everything in the refrigerators and she did it! Yeah!

By the way, I forgot to mention that the building is shared by multiple departments… You get it, right?

In fact, this is not fully surprising though.  I can totally imagine this could happen again and again in the future. How should I avoid doing it myself?  I guess the key is be serious when you are taking responsibilities.  If I can not take the responsibility, just don’t, suggest someone else who might be more suitable for the task.  Once accepted, do it perfectly.
