I've since startled warehouse guys with my facility with packing tape and made friends by volunteering to file packslips.

This made me think of my brief tenure in the mailroom, which is the reason why to this day I never get my scotch tape tangled up.

(Also, the one skill from journalism school that impresses people the most? is that I can write without looking at the paper. Not prettily, mind you, but I can write.)
