Hi, sorry I haven't written in a while. I've actually had a life. WEIRD.
So sadly there's only about 1 more week until Summer is over. This news is exciting because I will be done with my summer class on Monday, this is sad because instead of 1 class, I will now have 4 in addition to working 20 hours a week.
Why can't they pay me to be a bum? I'd be CEO of bumming before Katy Perry and John Mayer break up. (Seriously Katy Perry, have you not heard the Taylor Swift song, it's titled "Dear John" and just talks about how huge a d-bag he is.)
So I'm semi in charge of planning Orientation for the new law students. It's been pretty simple, ask for volunteers, design a kick ass t shirt (which I did, it's bright orange). But, one of my last jobs is to make 285 copies of the orientation packet. Easy Enough. It's done, It's basically done.
THE KINKOS INCIDENT
I stop by Kinkos on the way home from work and tell them what I want, it takes about 3 minutes for the girl to initiate with a super casual tone the following conversation
Kinkos girl: Ok, that'll be $523.17.
Me: Wait....what? You want me to pay how much? (I actually say "wait, what" a lot in real life)
Kinkos girl: Well yea, you want 285 copies right? So It's $523.17
(i continue to just stare her down)
Kinkos girl: Well it's $515 without staples
Me: Oh thanks, that's super helpful.
Kinkos girl: It's just how much it costs
Me: But whyyyy? (I was whining in public) Like, what are you doing to this paper to make it pretty much the same price as my rent?
Kinkos girl: Well you said double sided, and it's a lot of paper
Me: Is it scented?
Kinkos girl: Scented? No, what are you talking about?
Me: I'd understand if it was scented. Elle Woods has a scented resume, it'd be pretty understandable if you were spraying Chanel No.5 on the paper. But just to be clear, I don't need to be that fancy.
Kinkos girl: Who's Elle Woods? (this girl is like 16 years old)
Me: Elle Woods? The Bend and Snap?
(she continues to stare at me blankly)
Me: Reese Witherspoon's breakout role that basically caused her divorce with Ryan Phillippee b/c she was too successful?
Kinko's girl: Oh Reese Witherspoon is bff's with Robert Pattinson
Me: YES, can you believe Kristen Stewart cheated on R-Patz!
Kinko's girl: I love Kristen Stewart, she's like...so great.
(I just stare this girl down)
Me: Never mind. So like....it really costs 500 dollars to make copies?
Kinkos girl: Well, it's $523.17, $515 without staples.
Me: Plane tickets are cheaper.
Kinkos girl: Ok.
Me: Coach purses are cheaper
Kinkos girl: Ok.
Me: I could buy 2 seasons of the West Wing and still have money to go shopping.
Kinkos girl: What's the West Wing?
Me: The genius of Aaron S.......I'm going to go now.
Kinkos girl: Ok.
So, if anyone has any ideas of how to make copies less than 523.17 I'd greatly appreciate it.
