I SHOULD get hazard pay!
Me: ugh. Sometimes I’m glad I work for a university, sometimes I dislike it intensely. Especially when professors send students on scavenger hunts and make them take pictures of the departments they find. I’m hyper-sensitive about the fact that we deal with so much confidential information.
El Zarcho: So I have the least access to confidential information in this role that I’ve had in some time. At eBay, I had phone number and address for anyone with an eBay account. At Omniture, I had revenue and website performance numbers for any of our clients. Here they’re just really nervous about stealing
Me: Yeah. I’m really nervous about people behind my desk. I have a privacy screen on my computer, but still.
El Zarcho: You could carry a gun, I suppose. Being that it’s a state school.
Me: Ash is the only one I’ve ever let behind the desk, and it was because we were closed and he needed me to download something onto his computer.
El Zarcho: And wave it lollygawkers.
Me: My surge protector keeps clicking at me.
El Zarcho: Hmm, you should replace it.
Me: Why? Because there’s not enough circuits in this office. WHY? Because SOMEONE on the development committee forgot to factor in the sheer number of computers and related components our office needs. Doofus. Stupid surge protector never beeped or clicked at me downstairs. *grump* Also! I get to put out fires all day! I should get hazard pay.
El Zarcho: Yes.
Me: At least it’s not boring…
El Zarcho: And a fire helmet.
Me: lol! I’d wear that fire helmet every day.
El Zarcho: And a dalmation.
Me: ooo!
El Zarcho: The dalmation would be named Pee Hydrant. Because he would not be trained.
Me: NO! He would be trained! For I provide accessibility!
El Zarcho: Then he would be named Cedric.
Me: Yes. Cedric the Dalmation.
El Zarcho: I am laughing in my chair like an idiot with the image of you in a fire helmet with a dalmation at your desk at a university.
Me: It would be awesome.
