Outsourcing Cooking with Craigslist for $60/week

There was an hilarious dilbert strip which I can not find which had Dilbert washing his cubicle with a spray bottle and rag, dancing about having a great time, and then Alice shows up and says, "Okay, you've had the bottle long enough. It's my turn to pretend to be a janitor."

It's not funny till you've been there: Mundane labor in the office [1] is strangely delightful compared to typing.

[1] Not just janitorial work, but office moves, decorating, carrying stuff, etc.

I hear that. I spent two weekends back in the day helping another department get through a backlog of envelope stuffing. That and the phone book ripping competition were two of the highlights in that office.

I'll third this as well, for some reason I enjoyed vacuuming before close at Radioshack when I worked there. Normally I absolutely hate it.
