happy birthday Nora!
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

The status is NOT quo.
Hi Sean! I hear you're cleaning out my garage today. Remind ND to give you a book that you are going to LOVE that I am loaning to you. It's the one that Fay recommended, and I devoured it: The Lies of Locke Lamora.

I hated temp work. They'd call me at 2 in the afternoon and say "We need you to be at a meeting across town in an hour to take notes." "I don't take dictation, that's not on my skill sheet." "Well, you're the only one we have. If you don't do this, we'll put you down as refusing work and take you off our lists." "Bye."
Then another job they sent me on was a typing job that was supposed to take two days, and the only reason it took me four hours was because the guy I was typing for decided to add a new paragraph after I showed him the finished job.
Then again, my first temp job was working with the email manager at Novell, which is where I learned my basics of computer knowledge, and look at me now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, I learned Microsoft Access at my first temp job, which lead to my current job....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I don't miss temp work at all.
God, me neither. The only good thing about temping was that it kept me from being broke, and not being broke was the only thing keeping the soul-sucking depression at bay. (Temp-to-perm is a whole nother thing. Chronic temping made me want to curl up in a ball and cry. For two years.)

HAPPY B-DAY NORA!!!!

Thrive to spite them
My first temp job lasted 2 hours, but I got paid for 4 hrs (it wasn't my fault they didn't want me). My second job one of the first things I heard was "We haven't had a temp last all day, they go to lunch and don't come back." Less than an hour there and I figured out why, but I stuck it out for the day and then told the agency I didn't want to go back.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NORA!!!!
I liked temping, but I was temping at the height of the boom & could command a very nice hourly wage and long-term gigs. I don't think I could do it now.
