I've held several jobs in my relatively uneventful existence. Office lackey
(which is actually a very decent job for a 16-year-old), cash register
monkey (which, I guarantee you, sucks big time), dining hall monkey, child
wrangler, and most recently, recycle-bin emptier. Now, back to dining hall
monkey. I was employed in the position of student employee in my college's
main eatery last year. My duties were to stock and serve food, maintain
the drinks station, occasionally prepare food (but very occasionally),
clean up the stations afterwards, and stock silverware. Never all at the
same time, mind you. Now, in my second semester last year, I did a great
deal of stocking silverware, which includes not only forks, knives and
spoons but also napkins and trays. In my tenure as Main Student Silverware
Person, I learned much about myself, primarily in the field of Things That
Irritate the Monster. Repetition of said acts lead to Pissing the Monster
Off. So, without further useless ado, I warn you not to do the following,
lest you incur the wrath of the little redheaded X-Force fan:
Drop your silverware on the
floor.
Leave it there.
Drop your napkins on the floor.
Leave them there.
Stick your hand on the stack of
trays that the
Silverware Girl would like to refill, and leave it there for more than
1.5 seconds.
Take napkins off the stack that
the Silverware
Girl is just loading into the dispenser.
Then, drop them on the floor and
leave them
there.
Blindly pick out a fork and then,
upon realizing
it is a fork and not another type of utensil, stick it back in with the
spoons.
Choose the area around the main
silverware
station as your gossip spot when the Silverware Girl is trying to refill
the trays.
Crowd around her while she is
refilling one
of the (six) napkin dispensers, while failing to notice the other five
that don't have a dining hall employee standing in front of them
and who will need to escape to do the rest of her job momentarily.
Leave the top tray on a very high
stack because
said top tray has a fruit sticker stuck to the back of it.
