So during my time in college I have been a work study student. Normally this means that I would have to work hard, for a pre-determined amount of money, to be given to me in bi-weekly paychecks, all the while learning how to be responsible and better student. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, god that sounds great in theory. I however, have not had any of those useful lessons. Instead I work at possibly the easiest job on campus, most of the time I sit around and watch TV, surf the web or sleep. And like any other work study student, I get paid to do it! WOOHOO! You mean I can sleep for 2 hours, and get paid 8 dollars for every hour of dreaming? Well then imaginary hiring man, sign me the fuck up!
I'm not condemning where I work, instead I'm considering the possibility that work study is an inefficient method of slave labor. Now that's not to say that at times I enjoy my job, but for the most part its a series of finite tasks that add up to Boredom Town USA! Where you can get a 25% discount if you recommend your friend. And by discount, I mean a slap in the face for asking about the discount.
For different places on campus to employ student workers is a risky situation. Student workers are firstly students, and what do students like to do? Party and party harder than the last time they partied hard. This means that a good majority of student workers are working hung over, and exhausted. How does this effect efficiency? Well everyone knows a hung over worker is a slower worker, and a more grumpy worker... But I'm getting off point, which is, I love and hate my on campus job. Which is why I'm writing this while here, because I just couldn't handle anymore of the "V" mini-series marathon on SyFy. And another thing "SyFy"? More like "LameFy". Ok, I think I'll go work, and by work I mean take a nap in the sound booth.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz <----That's me sleeping. Pretty cool right.
