Thread Roulette: Licking Envelopes

[Event !]

Nick Ward and Daniel Taylor get to spend the day sending out notices for the community and government events for the next month, which consists of a Town Hall meeting, the School Board of Elections and budget voting, and the general community calendar. It's a tedious job, and we hope you don't get papercuts folding papers and addressing envelopes.

Dan could easily see why volunteers were needed. It was a daunting task. But yet, the teacher seemed right at home. This wasn't his first time making packets. His packets were for his students about an assignment. The information was different but the same task. Dan fell into a rhythm.

Dan wasn't doing this task alone. He had another volunteer as a partner. The mountains of paper were less intimidating. With the two of them they shouldn't spend too long making packets.

When Nick had been roped into signing up for volunteer work, he'd expected to get assigned to something cool. Or at least fun.

Yet when he'd received his assignment, he'd had to read it several times, and had whined about it to whoever would listen in the hopes that his brother, or Sophie, or his fiance would trade with him.

Nope. He was stuck with it. So he'd come prepared with coffee to keep him awake, and an entire backpack filled with snacks. Primarily things like chocolate bars, cookies, and a few pixie stix he'd smuggled into the house.

The guy he was working with seemed nice enough, but no matter how nice Daniel was, he didn't help with the crushing boredom that came with stuffing envelopes. Flopping back in his chair, he made a paper airplane out of a blank piece of paper and sent it sailing. "How long d' you think this'll take? There's so many." Procrastinating wasn't going to help him, either, but Nick chose to ignore that.
