A White Oak Staffer, 1982

A White Oak Staffer is a strange breed,
Intellectual stimulation is what they need,
A job description--there is none,
And perhaps, there should be one.


So, here are some things listed below,
But, I'm sure there are many mo'.


1.   Wash dishes
2.   Arrange chairs in conference rooms
3.   Run canteen
4.   Assist in reservation forms
5.   Assist in checking in conferees
6.   Answer phone
7.   Lock-up buildings at night
8.   Put-up and take-down the flags
9.   Arrange serving line with appropriate food and drinks
10. Help serve the food
11. Help in bookstore
12. Round-up paddle boats
13. Put-out towels in rooms
14. Assist in first-aid room
15. Wrap silverware
16. Empty food and drink machines of money
17. Set-up audio-visual equipment when needed
18. assist at swimming pool
19. run errands
20. Help conferees with boxes
21. Wait on tables if banquet
22. Wipe tables
23. Move rocking chairs
24. Whatever else might be needed to do over the course of an average day and night


Yes, a staffer is a friend and helper to all,
But, oh what a joy when no one calls--
For a staffer to come back,
Because then it's time for a nap attack.
