How about a really cool Citroen car commercial? Check out this dancing transformer.
On-call
As I dash my way out of the building, running and stumbling down the stairs, anxiously waiting for the stupid pedestrian light to go green, the short conversation I had a few minutes earlier keeps repeating in my head.
-Good morning T, did anyone call for me?
-Yeah, Jayne called
-FUCK, what did she say?
-Nothing, she wanted to speak to you
-... FUCK
I knew I shouldn't have slept the extra 10 minutes. They had trusted me, you just can't be irresponsible when they trust you with such a valuable thing. People's lives were at stake. They told me Monday is going to be a busy day, and there may very well be an emergency, and they needed me on call. And I accepted. I said I'll be there when you call. Paniced and sweaty, I ran through the corridors towards Jayne's desk.
- Hi Jayne
- Oh Hi, we had a no-show but he just showed up, so we're good. But we need you on call in the afternoon too, is that ok?
- Yeah yeah, for sure
As I wipe the sweat off my forehead, walking back to my office, I let out a huge sigh of relief. Things were calm again ... until the next emergency strikes.
... all in a day's work of the on-call invigilator
.

hehe ... well there's no other word for it. Perhaps I better had said Exam Invigilator, but it wouldav somewhat ruined the joke - if there was any!
