Death by Dining Hall


As a desperate poor college student I decided I would take advantage of a little thing called the work-study program. A work schedule that was easily to set up around classes and the paycheck every two weeks was motivation enough for me. Also how bad can it be making sandwiches or wiping down tables. It didn’t take me long to figure out those weren’t the only jobs in the dining hall. My ability to get stuck with the worst possible jobs is almost impressive. One exciting job I had was wiping down the inside of the steamers. I know what you are thinking, “Steamer that sounds hot,” and you would be right. Another fun task was scrubbing who knows what off the walls in the refrigerator. Again I bet you are thinking,  “That sounds really cold,” and once again you would be right. Finally there is the pain of a three-hour shift. You are probably thinking, “That doesn’t seem that long,” and you could not be anymore wrong. Somehow the dining hall supervisors have managed to slow time for workers. A three-hour work shift feels like at least twice that. Now I don’t know what device is capable of slowing down time but I do know it exist in the dining hall. My point is, my first impression of working in the dining hall was wrong.

  2. I worked there last year, and I wasn't even aware those jobs existed. You should probably look into the possibility that a dining hall employee has a personal vendetta against you. If this can be confirmed, I suggest challenging them to a duel, this often works for me.

    Also the device they're using for time manipulation is most likely a Chrono-Dilator. The only company currently producing this device is The Cyberdyne Systems Corporation. Yes, the very same company that is responsible for Skynet.
    I'd get in touch with Arnold as soon as possible.

    Good Luck.
