Vijaya Xerox Shop

Running Vijaya Xerox Shop in Sapavatu Thanda keeps me pretty busy throughout the day. People from around Bayilla Palli come in for all sorts of different things. Sometimes it is just one page for a school form, and other times it is a whole stack of documents. The machine makes a lot of noise and occasionally jams when the paper is a bit damp from the air. I have to open it up and pull out the stuck sheets, which is annoying but happens quite often. It is a small shop here in Vayilla Palli. I have a little desk and a chair where I sit when there are no customers around. Most people who come in are neighbors or students from nearby. We talk about the weather or what is happening in the village while the copies are printing out slowly. I try to keep enough ink on hand so I do not run out in the middle of a job. Sometimes the electricity cuts off and people have to wait or come back later in the evening. That is just how things go around here. I do not have a big staff, it is mostly just me handling everything myself. The shop isn't big, but it serves the purpose. I keep some pens and basic paper for sale too because people always seem to forget those things. It is a simple way to spend the day, helping people get their paperwork sorted out so they can go about their business.
