what have you done for your temp today?

[fearlesstemp]

Living at home is turning me into the sullen teenager I never really was. I love my parents, and I appreciate that they're letting me crash here, but all of these latent surly adolescent urges keep springing up within me, expressing themselves almost without my control, every time they commit that parental crime of, you know, telling me what to do. Well, not telling, more like suggesting. Strongly. With pointed looks and disappointed sighs.

New phrases that have become part of my vocabulary:

(1) God, will you get off my back?

(2) FINE! (followed by door slam)

and, let's not forget the old standby,

(3) (Stony silence, occasionally accompanied by either (a) eyeroll, or (b) the old long-suffering sigh)

If I get asked ONE MORE TIME about health insurance, I swear I'm going to. I don't know, use all three of the above in that order. That'll show 'em!!

The worst part is how they're right. I should be looking for a better job and getting health insurance. Yet still, watch me actively not do it. I suck! I keep thinking: graduate school. But for what? I feel like I need a spiritual retreat. Or a massive financial windfall. Perhaps both. Perhaps I need a massive financial windfall that will enable me to take a spiritual retreat in the vicinity of one/some/all of *NSYNC.

Note how it all comes back to the sparkly danceboys. Such is the nature of my life.

This post is sounding far pissier than I actually am! Change of topic is warranted! Onto happier things:

As all of you know, this week is National Temporary/Staffing Employees Week. Today I went to pick up my paycheck and, in addition to the dolla billz, I walked away with a CANDY FILLED GIFT BAG!! How cool is that?? Very cool!

I have been celebrating National Temporary/Staffing Employees Week by being a slothful employee and surfing the web early and often. Evidence of this is seen in the massive LJ survey I filled out while at the office. In my defense, it did take five hours for me to finish between projects, but still. I am such a rebel!

Such a rebel that I apparently break the laws of friendship, even. Suddenly realize that I totally forgot to call someone I'd planned to and so I'm off, and will leave you all with this question in the spirit of National Staffing/Temporary Employees Week: Have you given a temp a large sum of money tax-free today?

Have you given a temp a large sum of money tax-free today?

hee. Will you accept applauds instead? Seeing as how I'm currently unemployed and facing the temp thing soon myself? But thank you for the, as always, most amusing read. And woohoo! for the candy!

Hugs,
N.

I will totally accept applauds! And dude, you, too, are going to be visiting TempLand soon? Very cool, we can compare notes regarding idiot bosses and office politics and the like. Though I'm sure your stay won't be long, -- I know you're going to find some fabulous, permanent job you'll love soon. :)
