Question: When is a day not a day?

Answer: When it's a day decreed by the KR Hall Admin.

Observe. This sight greeted me 2 weeks+ ago when I stepped into the KR Eblock 2nd floor toilet:

Row

Hmmm. All 3 shower cubicles were closed. For how long? Let's check out the sign shall we...

Door

Ah. It says that the shower room will be closed 'today' for repairs. Alright. Justified. Closed 'today' for repairs. No problem.

Except it has been 'today' for the past 2 weeks+.

Is it just me? Or does that sign magically refresh itself at the stroke of midnight everynight? That's quite amazing. I'd wish for the power to extend a day to 2 weeks and counting too. Think of the possibilities...

Anyway. It's bloody irresponsible for Hall Admin to just paste this and hope that the shower room fixes itself. At least find a goddam plumber. Or make it known that it would be closed for an extended period of time. Like say a month. Seeing the sign gets my hope up every single day. But then... let's me down again.

It's kinda like the phrase by Russell Peters... "Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad... course it always said somebody. He never said it was you. But you knew it was you. But it gave you this hope... Somebody."

Today. False hope. Today.
