Back From The Undead

My (mostly) wonderful assignment of over a year and a half ended last week, so I am "back on the market," as it were, and back here ready to report on my findings in the Magical World Of Temp. I will certainly miss my long-term gig, and if for any reason I am invited back I will certainly take it. It was a good gig, where I didn't have to answer anyone's phones and people generally left me alone.

I am already on a short assignment in a new place and trying to remember how to be pleasant and phone-friendly. It's amazing, too, how quickly you forget how to operate machinery you don't care about once you've been away from it. I haven't used the phone system for admin assistant purposes for a long time and I'm a bit rusty. I already dropped a major boss's call today. Which on some level pleased me. YOU DO NOT OWN ME!

So far the current assignment is quiet and nice, or at least was until my supervisor just dropped in, looked around and saw that I was somewhat at peace, and came up with a Pointless Busywork task for me to do. I broke the cardinal rule of temping, which is Always Look Busy. Will have to correct that by taking forever to do this task, therefore keeping me from being assigned any more random stuff.

More soon, I'm sure.
