Paperwork Demon

A day after talking about how easy it is to buy a condo, the paperwork demon attacked me at work today. I have spent the entire day filling out sheets of paper. Here were my tasks:

• Request a few vacation days:
  • One memo to my boss, the boss' boss, and the boss' boss' boss.
  • One sheet of paper to cancel one class that I will miss.
  • Permission to use the computer lab for the make-up class.
  
  
• Turn in two mid-term exams:
  • Printouts of the exams (Legal size, Veranda 10 point, 1.5 line spacing, with the proper cover page filled out)
  • One floppy disk for each exam with a copy of the exam on it.
  • One pink sheet for each exam with all the information about the exam (teacher name, class name, date, format)
  • Another pink sheet for each exam requesting the use of the OMR grader for the Multiple Choice sections. (I incorrectly filled out the green sheets for this, but those are for Final Exams. Duh!)
  • One filled out OMR key for each exam
  
  
• Two 15 page midterm exams that I helped proofread
  
• A memo to my boss and to the payroll department telling them that the automatic clock-in/clock-out system said that I was negligent by not coming to work on Saturdays during January even though I am supposed to work Monday - Friday!
