![]() Receptionist In TrainingA Poem by TopHatGirl![]() It's me versus the copier machine.![]()
Teacher's aide,
tasks to run, papers to grade. Learned the hole-punch, mastered the cold lunch, She gives me a task, which I'll do really fast. Then she says what to do, and I know that I'm screwed. Copier machine. I think, I'm only a teen. It's not like I know how to to work this like a pro. Double sided. Which button? Is it scanning? Low on paper? Maybe it goes here... Is red flashing lights bad? No, not one hundred copies! It's copying it sideways! Stop it! I sigh, and I sink. Recycle the mistakes. Let's start over. Double sided. It's jamming. I'm totally fired. If only I can make it to the end of the period. Woo! It's copying! Yes, yes, yes! After I'm done, I show it to her, and she looks over it carefully. She frowns. And I see it. I copied the wrong side. She crumples it up, throws it away. Says,"You're done for the day." Yep, totally fired. It's about time I retired. Me:0 Copier: 1. Until tomorrow... © 2010 TopHatGirlAuthor's Note
