I've already started and finished my first temp job which was at a real estate management company working in the condo division. If I was to pick something that typified temp work, it would be that job. If I was to also pick something that typified the kind of thing I would not want to do the rest of my life, it would also be that. However? I really liked my two and a half weeks there, even if I couldn't imagine working there for a matter of months before I would really wonder why I was waking up in the morning.
It should come to no one's surprise that I managed to befriend every woman in the office, middle-aged and young, within hours and charmed the rest of the men in the office after one week. After one day in the office, my supervisor was calling me "brilliant," "the best temp worker ever," and "a smartass." She was right on only one of the three--guess which one that was.
The point is that I got so friendly and comfortable with everyone in the office that on my last day I managed to make a joke about my supervisor's clitoris in front of her and other co-workers and not only have her screaming with laughter into her hands but I received no harsh tongue lashing afterwards. There are things that funny gay men can get away with in an office setting and one of them is saying the words "clit" and "snatch" in public. People? You should be considering conversion of any kind at this point.
So I discovered that I'm a really good worker who can get along with co-workers really really well. Also that I have a big mouth. These are no big surprises to me, however.
I am also discovering in my current living situation that I need a clean kitchen in order to be at ease in a home. I'm just saying.
