Screaming Bean |

Yes, I am still working...and finally escaped from the copy machine. When I came back to the office after lunch yesterday, I was taken off my gigantic research/writing project for a "copy job." I thought hey, what's a few copies...nearly 2.5 hours later I still wasn't done. Being left to your own thoughts while violating the copyright act over and over again makes for one angry Bean. I got to come back this morning and start it up again. Luckily I was able to finish up in about an hour. Total paper used, 4 reams. I think my aura had begun to damage the copier, because by the end it was copying spontaneously without provocation. I got to watch the unpaid undergrads doing meaningful work while I, paid rising-3L law student was a copy jockey. I stepped aside for everyone else who needed to make one or two copies, as not to impact their important lives. I was accused by an attorney of ignorance of the copyright act. And the kicker? There might be more...this afternoon. What's land use and zoning research when there are copies to be made!
