WHY I LOVE WORKING THE DESK (sometimes)

I work the desk in Gries (a frosh dorm) for what seems like 57.3 hours a week. These are the reasons why I love it (sometimes):

1. Curt, the maintenance man.
2. Giving every Jimmy John's worker a hard time because they didn't bring me, the deskworker, a free sandwich.
3. Giving the Jimmy John's worker a hard time just for jollies.
4. Visiting with random freshman.
5. Knowing about 80% of my 900 neighbors.
6. Socializing, which allows me to procrastinate doing my homework.
7. Visiting with my favorite RAs, who I suck into sitting down there and keeping me company.
8. Hearing hilarious freshman stories as they wait for the elevator (our very own death trap).
9. Coloring pictures from coloring books that I found and printed online.
10. Key audits (wait, how'd this one get in here?)
11. Wishing Megan Kinney "happy challah days" via telephone, instant message, or yelling.
12. Giving residents kinky eyes with my accomplices Bethany and Maria.
13. Being the creepy/friendly deskworker who calls everyone by name (because their name pops up when they swipe their ID card).
14. Making CD mixes with Bethany and Maria (such as "Joe B.'s WMD")
15. Using Microsoft Office Word to create geometrically friendly pumpkins for door decs.
16. Hearing Steve Fowler's hysterical quotes and eating yum-yums from his office.
