11. so now you are a gopfer...........or a go-fer
"Likewise gofer may refer to a junior member of an organization who generally receive the most vexing and thankless work. Firms with a top-heavy management structure, having not enough junior lawyers to take care of menial yet necessary tasks can be referred to as having --->"too many loafers and not enough gophers".<-----
or

"One early reference to the term gofer as an occupation was made in Season 1 of the television series The Muppets when Scooter was offered the position by Kermit. The pun was that Muppets were based on animals and a --->gopher<--- is also an animal."

look at this way....now you can become a "working class hero"
