Observations of a temp

In no particular order:
  • $11/hr jobs have the best food in the kitchen.
  • $12/hr jobs are the quietest.
  • I will not wear a suit for any less than $14/hr.
  • People who think they are important are a pain. People who really are important are nice.
  • No one does full-on professional anymore for anything other than special occasions.
  • I have been in an office that involved a fooz-ball table. The entry way also looked like something out of Space Mountain.
  • The trick = always appear confident that you can do whatever they throw at you. It probably isn't as hard as they think it is.
  • Charm gets you everywhere. Especially on the phone.
  • Do not go out drinking before you have an assignment on a any floor above 6. The tiered/express elevators will not be kind to you or your hangover.
  • When in doubt, wear black and/or white.
