Lament of the Cubicle Worker

Why has the New Guy decided that I'm an excellent source of information for working the photocopier, locating technical papers, etc.? I haven't even been introduced to the guy, I just know he's "the new guy who's replacing Hugo the Peruvian".

And who is microwaving leftover fish?

Hey, this is a perfect opportunity to have a little fun! "Okay, you want to copy this at 100% size, so enter one zero zero on this keypad and press the 'start' button."

Because, possibly, you look like you know what you're doing? It's amazing how many people around this office gravitate to the small handful of clueful folk to handhold them through every possibly technological interaction...
Clearly he is office stalker #2.
FYI The population of Cubby ville, here at work, feels that the Homestar Runner web site is disrespectful of people with developmental delays, speech impediment, weight problems, and is negatively stereotypical of individuals for other cultures.

Yes, I said. It is charming in its own special way.
I must ask Naomi for headphones.
I refuse to handhold! I got enough on my desk without some sales dweeb to cater to.
