Deep beneath the icy pavement of Purdue’s campus, lies a sprawling underground Catacomb full of carrels, computer station and Asians.
I work there now.
Yep, my exemplary performance (I didn’t screw anything up.) last semester paid off and now I get to work in the Undergraduate library at the IT desk. Helping meatheads with their meathead problems only now I do it as one of three similar Internet denizens staffing the desk.
I’m competent so long as they don’t ask me anything about computers. Everything else I know: where’s the nearest vending machine, whether or not we have mouse pads (We don’t.) and what time the library closes (because that’s when my shift ends.) Anything involving me setting up laptops to print or connecting MacBooks to Wifi involved me looking up stuff in the Knowledge Base (Powered by Google!) for tutorials and guides. Other than that, there’s lolcats and lolcat enthusiasts. Also, lanyards.
