Are You At Work? Are You Bored? Read This!
I was responding to
a post at Shauny's website (recommendation: two thumbs up, by the way) about work boredom and decided to share this story with you. It's one of my favorite recollections from college:
Back when I was in college, I worked for the University's catering service, which served lunches, dinners, etc. for on-campus functions. I worked as a waitress, and occasionally bartended. For one thing, it was about the only on-campus job open to non-work-study students (i.e., the students who didn't have loans).
One night we did the annual awards dinner for the campus newspaper, which was/is one of the better student papers in the country and is, as a consequence, quite full of itself. Well, the speeches went on and on and on. We had served, cleared, sat in the back and eaten our own dinners, and there was nothing left to be done until the guests left.
Two of the kitchen help were so bored that they picked up one of the waitresses, a slightly-built girl, and decided to stuff her into one of the ice chests to see if she would fit.
Now THAT'S bored.
