Temping can be Tempting

So first full day temping and now have some system access in the office can get on with some things. However most of the day spent doing hypnotic things like envelope stuffing and photocopying. However listening to snippets of office politics and seeing slight personality clashes, it strikes me being in a place for 15 years no wonder everything gets to you.

Those small irritations get under your skin, you've tried to suggest and improve things and things change with you or without you sometiems for the better, sometimes not, and as a human you start to bond with it, with all its faults and somedays you don't want to live with it and some days you don't want to go home. Temping you understand the flaws but you don't have to live with them, its more like a rainy day in a fortnights holiday. Hmm refreshing

In a perm job you make friends and you have to say goodbye to them or not be real friends with them because of the hierarchy or whatever and sometimes you have to tell them off or a decision you make affects them negatively even though its the right one, quite draining after a while.

It's so nice to be busy, and a real joy I have an office to myself this week, next to the kitchen so herbal tea is 30 seconds away and if it gets cold I can still down it. And I have the most awesome stapler, its surpassed even the bambi my mum bought in the 60s and is still going strong, it's action is brilliant and it never jams and it makes a great reassuring "yep that's in" noise. Love it!

Tomorrow I meet the big cheese and hopefully hear from the gallery too,
