Glossary

There aren't a lot of general words that my subculture uses.  They are all specific to the type of job the person does.  People that work at the front desk will use terms like "buzz people in" or "do mail".  "Doing mail" consists of going through the mail that has come in for that day and checking each one to make sure that that person still lives at the dorm the mail was sent to.  This also includes checking in packages for people.  Checking in packages is a lot more work than checking mail.  When they do packages they have to write a number on the package and then fill out on a sheet of paper when the package arrived, the number, and the person who checked it in.  Then the person that received the package has to bring their package notice down and sign the paper and date it when they pick it up.  Other jobs, such as those that work in the library cafe, have many many terms that mainly they only know what means.
