Writing Center Work is like: nothing I've ever experienced. Never knowing who will show up, what snacks will be floating around the center, or what bizarre assignment will come through the door definitely keeps me on my toes. Not many people can say that everyday of their job is very different and I love that I can do that.
On Punctuation: Punctuation reminds me of a really good back of chips because they are delicious but only in moderation... You put a comma in a sentence and then all of a sudden you find yourself putting them after every other word. It's the same thing after you have the first chip because you've realized how amazing it is soyou keep going back for a more even though you know you should have stopped a long time ago...
