Good Things About Current Temp Assignment:
Own office with view.
Desk situated so computer faces me and nobody can sneak up on me.
Workload is grinding through a backlog of stuff. Steady but nothing crazy urgent. Some computer, some files. Not difficult but requiring some database familiarity. Could go on for a while.
Free fruit (bananas, apples, pears, persimmons, pomegrantes)
Free crackers (Wheat Thins, Ritz, Club, Saltine...)
Starbucks Coffee Machine that fresh grinds beans for your coffee
Free water and juice (including the fizzy water I usually pay for)
Free Cup O' Soups (five flavors)
Nice (if harried) supervisor
Negatives
None really. Except for the whole "they made me do stuff I didn't really want to do" aspect. Plus getting up and going to work. Still, if you gotta have a temp assignment...
Incidentally, while I'm in the same building as my previous job, I use a different elevator bank. So I only run into people in the lobby.

I saw that. That's very cool. I'm very jealous.
Free pomegranates is also very cool. I'd be jealous, except there's a tree in our back yard that throws them at me every year, so I'm good.

If you take nothing else away from
The Wizard of Oz,
it should be the lesson that trees like to throw their own fruit at people.
