The start of a beautiful day

I hate approaching lab technicians. They're generally rude and arrogant, with the exception of those in Workshop 2. I think facing machines in the long term made them forget their manners and social etiquette.

Anyway, I was looking for plastic bolts in Engineering Workshop 2, when the nice technicians there kindly redirected me to the EE workshop in the same building (they even told me how to get there) where I would have a higher chance of finding them.

By the way, the EE workshop is the cleanest workshop I've ever entered. The equipment there looks very much untouched as well. They even have a sensor at the door that sounds off everytime someone passes by (like those in 7-11, only much very louder and it echos around the mostly empty workshop).

As I walked through the workshop, I saw an open cupboard with all kinds of nuts and bolts inside, so I started looking for any plastic ones.

Suddenly, a voice shouted at me, "Hello! Who gave you permission to open that cupboard?"

Sounds are usually amplified when made in a room that echos very easily. His voice almost made me jump.

For all I know, he could have been shouting at a thief who was trying to break into the workshop and getting away with all his precious nuts and bolts. To think he was the one who left the cupboard that kept his precious nuts and bolts open.

I pointed out that the cupboard doors were open before I came. His tone became much softer, "You have to ask for permission before you take anything ok?"

I'd rather manufacture my own bolts than to take anything from you, thank you!

On my way back to my lab in E3, I took a lift up with another guy. He was impatiently pressing the lift button to close the door, but he kept pressing the "door open" button......

Nevermind, I'll be camping at DSO for the rest of the day. At least the people there are sane and pleasantly well-mannered.
