especially if you leave copies in the copier by accident and they've got swear words on them and you're the only young person on the whole floor.

like what i just did.

i have an overwhelming sense of dread.

It will all become clear later... like the French Revolution.

(Of course, using the guillotine (ha!) is a victimless crime because it doesn't use any resources except your own energy.

guillotine? Is this what europeans call the paper cutter?

Yup. We are hardcore.

Flyering on Eggs... that would be classic.

Maybe your office folks will come to the gig?

Richard Chesler:The second rule of Fight Club - is this yours?
Narrator: Huh?
Richard Chesler: Pretend you're me, make a managerial decision: you find this, what would you do?
Narrator: [pauses] Well, I gotta tell you: I'd be very, very careful who you talk to about that, because the person who wrote that... is dangerous.
[Gets up from the chair]
Narrator: [Talking slowly] And this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap, and then stalk from office to office with an Armalite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semi-automatic weapon, pumping round after round into colleagues and co-workers. This might be someone you've known for years. Someone very, very close to you.
Narrator: [Voice-over] Tyler's words coming out of my mouth.
[Snatches the piece of paper from boss' hands]
Narrator: [Voice-over] And I used to be such a nice guy.
Narrator: Or maybe you shouldn't bring me every little piece of trash you happen to pick up.

That's what dayjobs are for. I had to ask before we did ours, but they said yes. It was lucky it was for a festival, or they would all have come! Eep!

At my old job, I had a KEY so I could get in AT NIGHT, and also was the guy who ordered/maintained copier/printer paper supplies! I even did flyers for OTHER PEOPLE'S bands!

I quite liked the rush though of doing this during work hours, my boss walking directly behind me, a stack of like a bazillionty twelve flyers for bands with names like "F1l+h P0rn" and "P5ych0 B1+ch M4gn3+" chugging out.

the worst bit about it was i found the sheets next to the printer and the last one was proof that I'd drained the copier of all its ink. Yikes!

At my first job, we got a fancy 18" x 24" copier in our department a couple of months before most of the company bigwigs went on a junket to Italy. While the cats were away, I turned some favorite comics pages and panels into big posters, and copied my first fanzine on it. It wasn't built for volume, and I think I sorta messed it up -- it started producing crap output soon after that and the techs never could get it fixed right. In retrospect I'm surprised my coworkers didn't rat me out.

at my old job, every file sent to the color printers had to have a job number in front of it's name for billing purposes. If you printed something with no job number, they'd come hunt you down. So when it was flyerin' time, and trust me, I did a LOT of flyerin' during those years, I just had to pick what client I wanted to bill my flyers to. AT+T? Chase? MetLife? Whoever pissed me off the most that day.

I call it criminal.

ive been thinking about using our office cd/dvd duplicator to make copies of our demo-- however this presupposes two things
1: i finish the demo before my internship finishes me
2: i am not stupid enough to get caught (have been thinking about maybe coming in early [by which i mean like 10am lol] to accomplish this)

neither of which, i think, is accurate
