Gotta love the peon job

During one of my on-campus work study job this morning I was instructed to:
* Make 15 xeroxes
* Burn a CD
* Open a box (yes, swear, went something like this "hey morgan- can you open this box for me?" like they had it waiting for me or something ... it was hard -- it had tape on it and everything ... what would they have done without me, that box would have sat on their desk all day)

Makes me feel so important that I am around for these ppl to do these difficult tasks. But hey, at least it wasn't as exciting as it normally is. Usually I am asked to scan entire books. Yes, individually scan each page of entire book.

I am so important. Wow.

correct me if i'm wrong but aren't you the one that signed up for ten billion work study jobs...maybe next semester you should consider dropping box opening 101...well at least on the bright side the box wasnt booby-trapped or anything

In the UK and Oz we say photocopying instead of xeroxing.

The Brits let the side down by saying hoovering instead of vacuuming though.

Ah, we call it photocopying as well. To each his own. I would say it is about half and half;)

But hoovering? Crazy!
