Putting my time to good use
Sep. 29th, 2005 01:50 amWhat can be expected of me on an average desk shift, you ask (yeah, you did. I heard it. Don't deny it)?
1. I greet everyone hanging out at the front desk (5-60 minutes, depending on how many are at the front desk, and how long I can convince them to hang around to entertain me instead of doing silly things like getting sleep).
2. I check my mailbox (30 seconds).
3. I file discipline reports found in my mailbox and type of any letters that need to be sent as a result of the discipline reports (3-5 minutes).
4. I check email (work first, personal second, of course). I answer the work email and complete the tasks needed (5-10 minutes).
5. I move on to livejournal (15 minutes normally, more if it's after a weekend away).
6. I play cute, funny songs like this, giggling constantly (c'mon - llamas are hilarious), entertaining/annoying/scaring the nice, glutton-for-punishment people who stuck around to keep me company (2 minutes X the number of people who have yet to be subjected to the llama song).
7. I get up to let students in the building who've forgotten their swipe cards (30 seconds each).
8. I am subjected to my new favorite online cartoon - click on cartoon, scroll down until you see the one with Salad Fingers, and wait for it to load - it's soooo worth it by one of the RA's. I laugh maniacally throughout the cartoon, thoroughly disturbing the one person who was going to stay at the desk to study for her wine/spirits exam tomorrow (aside - why didn't I take that class when I was in school? I would have been teacher's pet), causing her to flee to her room to escape my lunacy (5-10 minutes, although the loading time seemed longer).
9. I am abandoned.
10. I post in my livejournal all the things that I'm doing instead of working, because all my work is done here at the night desk (10 minutes). Here's a meme that I snagged from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
