Great, thanks for letting me know!
Canteen wage payment occurs fortnightly. I usually process the payroll and load the payment into BOQ on Monday mornings. It would be great if the two approvals were completed by Monday afternoon or evening, so that the Canteen ladies can receive their pay on Monday.
Otherwise, Tuesdays are acceptable, even though I might feel guilty about understanding a late wage payment. I got a complaint regarding a Tuesday wage payment when I first started working on the Canteen payroll two years ago. I managed to get the job done on Monday.
However, I understand that we’re all volunteers and no guarantee for a fixed available timeslot. So I would say, let’s do our best to let the Canteen ladies get their pay on Mondays, fortnightly, but on Tuesdays, even on Wednesdays (when there are long weekends) would be acceptable (we’ve survived).
Many thanks for reading my words.
Kind regards,
Susan
我在兩年多前開始幫孩子就讀的小學校的家長與公民委員會（P&C）做義工bookkeeper，說起來這是一個很長，而且還可以更長的故事。
當時是本來剛剛接手做了半年多的一位爸爸忽然說做不了了，於是P&C的人在找願意接替他的人選，而當時的我，處於情緒深度受損傷的狀態，而這種狀態卻使得我做不到“見死不救”，於是我就舉手說我來做。
在過去的這兩年多中，無論我是處於如何艱難的困境，我都最大限度地閉嘴不解釋。我沒做到時我就說對不起我沒做到，我做錯時我就說抱歉我錯了。直到一點一點地，I get the job done。這個時候，我也不再需要解釋。
但是我仍然需要外界的支援，除了我的家人以外，我對我的“上司”財長大致提到我的狀況，也感謝他在我做錯時，或者是做不到時，他給予我的諒解與支持。
如今，之前兩年一屆的P&C志願者有些人離開了，有些新人又進來了，我也終於熬成了“老員工”，開始寫一些“長篇大論”了。
