At any office the copier is the hub of getting things done.  The only difference between academia and the average office is that professors seem to be especially clueless on how to tackle any problems that arise.  Though, I suspect, laziness rather than ignorance might be the culprit.

I’m not sure if this is the first time we’ve mentioned a secretary, but we certainly have never shown one.  Sounds like a character that might be worth watching the backgrounds for.
