ARGGH! Totally unnacceptable! Um, aren't there any chivalrous fellas in the office? *ducking the angry glare of feminists everywhere*

I once somehow got stuck with that job when I worked at the Disneyland Hotel. I couldn't even lift it, and when I finally did manage to somehow, I sent it tumbling and boy oh boy, water ahoy! Some very kind fellas (I believe one of them was Hades ) rescued me, and I never was asked to do it again. Amen! Start spillin' that water, Pru!

Other tips to avoid office duties you don't want to partake in:

*Smile big, bat eyes,twirl hair, chew on fingertips coyly and giggle.
*Have sex with the office manager. Added bonus if he highly resembles Scott Bakula or James Marsters. Female manager? Learn to "experiment". Fast.
*Two simple words convey "no", and managers love to hear them: "f*ck you"


Okay, I am SO kidding! I've never done any of those things, although quite honestly, if my boss was a single Scott Bakula or James Marsters doppelgänger, I might need to break that rule, but that's another Thread. Ah, here's to forbidden love on the copier machine..

Hang in, there Pru!
