Student computer consultant at a college in the 1980s
The best part was that because we were in some quasi-instructor position but still students, this seemed to attract other students. I don't know anybody who worked in the English computer lab that didn't hook up with someone. Hermilo may have left a virgin as he was a good Filipino boy, but he was handsome and got dates at least.

There were the busy times when an instructor had their class in the lab or at end of the semester when papers were due, but for the most part it was sitting on my butt and playing computer games (pre-'net days), goofing off, and pirating the university's software.

My duties were fixing minor computer problems, teaching liberal arts majors to use MicroSoft Word and easier programs, replacing printers' ink, and filling out repair forms. Oh, I also fixed corrupted discs sometimes and often told people "no, I can't retrieve your term paper if you didn't save it often."

Stunts we pulled: a rather unattractive grad assistant and we talked his cute ginger student into bringing in the video of her high school gymnastic performance while we all perved over it (she seemed to get off on that); loading prank programs so when students did something like "bold" text, the computer did something harmless but scary to the screen (like little "bugs" crawling across it or characters "dripping" down the screen); using a teacher "switchboard" to exchange screens, fooling students into thinking that their screen went blank and lost their paper.

College: six of the best years of my life.
