1. My job as such is providing phone support for computer and software related problems occurring on campus. So, I set at my kiosk outfitted with 3 monitors and receive phone calls from people experiencing various problems (OMG MY INTERNETS HAS BROKEN), resetting passwords and trouble shooting other problems.
2. These calls come fairly frequently, but I can say that 8/10 of them are from kind or at least civil individuals who are not abusive, but possibly (generally) incompetent. But, as long as they're nice about it, it doesn't really matter much to me. Average phone call: about 6 minutes of my time.
3. I can eat and drink here. Around All These Computers. I'm not sure how this has been alive, I'm attributing it to some sort of miracle.
4. The real reason: when I'm not on the phone (70% of them time) I'm allowed to do nearly everything, from constructing elaborate machines from the desk supplies, making terrible jokes with my colleagues, watching TV on the internet, playing games on the internet, checking email on the internet, finding all the dumb stuff that gets put up here on the internet etc etc etc.
5. I get paid to do this.
And now another silly thing:
