You're sitting in a small room at a table. In front of you, a stack of paper containing a nearly-endless list of words. An Alexa device sits in a nearby corner.

Clearing your throat in preparation, you reach for the first sheet of paper and begin to read the list of words:

"Alacksah... Alicksah... Alorksah... Alucksah"

You think to yourself: for $15/hour, you've had worse jobs.
