Same Old Same Old
The temp job got extended indefinitely. Good news, right? Except that they've moved me from Reception (light, airy, friendly people, internet access) to Procurement (the exact opposite). Another fun perk is they've put me at the dead man's desk (this guy that died while out on sick leave during one of my first weeks here) which is a little...disquieting.
It also seems the powers that be finally got wise to the fact that I was only entrusted with about 30 minutes of actual work a day and was thus being paid to sit on my butt and read for 7 1/2 hours (good times), so I've recently been cut down to half days. It does mean less traffic on the way home which is très bon, but it also means I'm only making maybe $100 a week once I pay for the gas it takes to commute down there and back. I'm sticking it out for now because 100 bucks a week is better than no bucks a week, but we may have to re-evaluate things soon. Especially if I'm still supposed to be there 'round Dragon*Con time. Not gonna happen.
Basically I can sum up my (work) life these days in one Monty Python quote: "Exciting? Not it's not. It's dull. Dull. Dull. My God it's dull, it's so desperately dull and tedious and stuffy and boring and des-per-ate-ly DULL."
(Regular life is kind of dull and grey too, but I'm working on changing that!)
