Ten Sucky Things About Temp Work


by Thomas M. Pender

A companion piece to last week’s Ten. . . . Just teasin’, Aquent.  Love ya!

10)          You never get to unpack your cutesy toy things to put out on your desk

9)            Your “vacation time” is the time you sit at home sweating when your next gig will come along

8)            Your “sick time” is made up of the days you feel nauseous because you haven’t worked in weeks

7)            You never get a cool nameplate for your desk or cubicle.  Not even a cheesy nametag.

6)            You never hear wild rumor mill lies about yourself . . . or get to spend time finding out who started the lies, and plotting your sweet revenge!

5)            Tearful hugs on your last day?  Nada.

4)            Corporate ladder?  Advancement? . . . Not so much.

3)            You have to really time your assignment right in order to get to any office Christmas parties

2)            Not enough time to find the sweet candy stashes to pilfer

and

1)            You never get to stay at one job long enough to figure out who to dislike
