 Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, It's off to work we go

Someone asked me today if I was going to stay at my new job for a while.  It was one of the other employees here.  They said it with that little conspiratorial tone that implies an intimacy I just don't feel with people I've only known five minutes.

I just smiled the smile of the person who knows there is no way he can answer this question with a straight face.  This is one of those stupid questions like "What made you decide to temp?" or "Did you like doing the filing and answering the phone at your last job?" or "Do you consider yourself to be smarter then the President?"

In case you were wondering, loyal readers, I am at this job until something better comes a long.  I decided to become a temp because I like the uncertainty of not having any benefits, days off,  or job security.  I can think of nothing I'd rather do with my life than make your coffee.  And I consider the sand you find in poorly cleaned rotten spinach to be smarter than the President.

I hope that clears things up.

I thought all jobs were "until something better came along"?

My favorite question while I was working at Disney was, "What time is the 3 o'clock parade?"  You are doing a Disney theme right?

Don't you just love working a job that u really don't care for?  Going in everyday with nosey coworkers is the best part.

I had fun temping because it allowed me to act out different roles.  Anastasia Beaverhausen is already taken as a pseudonym, but I'm sure you could come up with something along those lines to make the job more interesting.

Funny post, but you get zero eProps for giving me zero eProps. I haven't called you back because I don't have any minutes left. Hold your freaking horses. One of these nights or weekends, you'll be getting a dial from yours truly.
