IS THAT A STRING OR A PIECE OF SPAGHETTI
job update!
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 10:03 AMbut i still want something to keep kinda busy with. i went and signed up at a temp agency. so far i have helped to cater several events....everyone else orking there is soooo young, in their twenties. of course i can't let them outwork me. i come home completely exaughsted. i haven't done that kind of work in seventeen years, when i owned my own business. the kids worked pretty hard, but there are always some people who really don't want to work. they irritate the heck out of me. i would rather be busy and have the time pass more quickly.
they also sent me out to usher a couple of events. that is very easy work. i ushered the barbershop quartet show twice....amusing enough the first time. and romeo and julliet once. a university production. hmmmm......not sure what they were going for.
today i am sitting in an office. i have already typed up all the proposals they wanted me to do and faxed them out. now i just have to answer phones. boring. there is only so much sitting and tribing that i can stand to do. maybe i will go through my friends list and pm everyone. i haven't had time to do that in a while. or i could go around and be the testemonial fairy for strangers. that is always fun. yawn.

What a great idea...
a temp agency could be kinda fun doing all different kinds of things and meeting lots of new people. I agree there is only so much sitting and tribing one can stand to do in a day. Think I'll stand up and file for a bit. Yawn, sneeze, cough, blow nose.

I know what you mean, I'd rather keep busy and get the day ticking along at a good pace than be bored. How people can sit and do nothing all day I will never know, it's the most soul destroying and mind numbing thing in the world. Still, the life of a temp is an interesting one, you can annoy whomever you like because you won't be there for long and you get to meet lots of different people.

This will fill the time until you're recovered from your pillaging in June. Keeping busy is important!

There was never a doubt in my mind that you'd be busy as, umhhh, a bea (hahahah). It might be boring but it's always nice to have the money and some temp jobs turn out to be great !!

temping was some of the most intersesting work I ever did. Mixed in with the most boring!
My favorite memory: "you want me to WHAT?" yes you have to know how to entertain yourself to be a good temp. |

oh yeah, after a month of not working for attila the whiner, i feel great. no stomach problems, no headaches, even when it is windy and 'that time of the month', my skin looks great and my energy level is good. i'm starting to get motivated to do stuff again.

After much procrastination, I'm joining the temp world myself. It's a good way to make money and still keep my sanity and freedom........something that I've come to enjoy in my time of unemployment.

It's also fun to go through the phone book and find people with unusual or amusing names, in case you ever write a novel.
You may be able to actually write the novel if you're in that office long enough! |

I'm sure every office you go to, you'll have everyone telling you their life's story and they'll all cry when you leave!
