Paperwork? We don't need no steenkin' paperwork!

Ah, the joy of photocopying: 1. Spend 5 minutes waiting for the school computer system to accept your login. Chat idly about holiday activities with random staff members as they wait in line for the photocopier. 2. Try to find the stuff that you saved somewhere last year - either on your personal drive, or the shared drive, or (for some mysterious reason) on the shared student drive. 3. Give up looking, and make the damn handout again. 4. Hit print. Wait with baited breath to see if the printer will jam. 5. Open printer flaps, clear paper jam, close printer. 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5. Hit printer. Marvel at success of this technique. 7. Log out, take freshly rewritten and printed handout to the photocopier.

Unplug the control box for the photocopier system, plug it back in, and log in. 10. Place handout face down on photocopier. Choose number of copies. Hit go. 11. Realise that there is no paper on the paper tray. Walk to main office, collect ream of paper, return to prep room, load paper, log in again, choose number of copies, hit go. 11. Clear excess waste paper from the paper catching tray. Hit reset. Choose number of copies. Hit go. 12. Press 'drum release' button, open the risograph, clear stuck paper off the main drum. Go wash hands. 13. Log back in, choose number of copies, hit go. 14. Watch 4 or 5 blank copies fly out of the machine, before some half-way decent looking duplicates start coming out. Celebrate how fast the risograph is at copying compared to a regular photocopier. 15. Run off 5 additional copies to make up for the ones that didn't work. 16. Log off. 17. Remember something else you needed to copy off for class. 17. Goto 1.
