Intellectual labour
I'm now "working", that is to say: I'm preparing (my half of) the Highlander and Scruffy's quizzes for Wednesday and Thursday respectively. This involves wandering around news sites looking for tidbits, poring over uselessknowledge.com and lurking in DALnet's #trivia irc channel. Then it all has to be typed and translated into German and printed and photocopied (at our expense!). Then on the night we're correcting papers the whole time and then one of us does "the show"...I won't even tell you what we get for it, suffice to say that it doesn't justify the time and effort spent.

But it's fun and I get, like, rispekt 'n' stuff. Aarrrr.
