I’m in the office … all by myself … on a Friday afternoon. Why yes, I’m being VERY productive! Why would you ask a thing like that? 😃 What am I supposed to do - I’m an administrative assistant with nobody to assist! Practially the only real reason I’ve even stuck around is because five out of the seven people who aren’t here have called me! ---

No administration to do … but I will get a little filing done - can’t leave the desk messy! Is it sad that I had to use the 11 x 17 paper cassette to properly photocopy my butt? Is it worse that I wanna go copy my boobs now. OH MY GOD WE HAVE A SCANNER - but I don’t want to leave a record of my misbehavin’ anywhere. DAMN! ---

> [@Avarie537](#): > > Is it sad that I had to use the 11 x 17 paper cassette to properly photocopy my butt? 'Course not…standard paper size is 8.5 x 11…and a butt that could fit in that space while sitting? _Far_ too small. ---

Welcome to my world, but I do it 5-6 days a week. Fart with impunity. Rattle the ceiling tiles and see if you can get people from the next office/store over to come see what that explosion was! 😃 ---

Photocopied boobs never look as good as you think they will. They tend to resemble pancakes with eyeballs. ---

I have wittnessed the after effects of said union, and it wasn’t pretty… **Avarie537** do you know the number to 911? Do you really want your boss to come in to find a bloody copier on Monday? ---

Please, **picunurse** , leave your logical reasoning and educated opinions out of this! We’re talking about fun with large pieces of office equipment here! There’s no one else in the office – this is no time for a safety lecture! **Avarie537** , you photocopy all the body parts you want. And after that, it’s panties in the paper shredder! Ummm…might wanna keep a cordless phone nearby, just in case. ---
