Drag V: The Revenge

You know you work as a temp, stella?

How come no one has noticed that you don't actually do any work, and that the company is paying over the odds for an agency worker who does fuck all? :confused:

I do do work but it's bits here are there. Nothing regular. I am like the Red Adair of Word crises for people who refuse to learn how to make their tables line up or all their bullets the same shape.

Don't have a go at me :(
 
So, the festival I'm thinking of going to looks nice this weekend, weather not bad etc. So I buys these freakin tickets riiight. Now the weather suddenly changes to heavy rain all weekend. I am a curse on the festival.....me going merely ruins it for others. Rain follows me. I hate it. And I hate myself for bringing it with me everywhere.

Hang on is this the rain thread? :hmm:

I cant even do this properly :(

*kills self*

I wasn't having a go, I was idly wondering about it the other day, and remembered to ask you about it now. It's just that I would know instantly if a temp working for me was actually doing much/any work.

So is that what you do? Admin support for formatting n that?

There's a plugin that lets fast moving threads update in real time, new replies popping up as people make them. Would that make you chatterbox types happy?
 
Harumph.

I've been working like a mofo hyping this thread, teasing people over and quite frankly being 53tIIa's BRICK.

Have I had any props/rewards yet? Have I f**k :mad:

It's yesterday all over again. She made promised to change, but here I am, give, give, giving whilst my emotional reservoir gets drained :(

Well, I assume your temps have lots to do! Check this, update that, answer the fone, fill in stuff, regular tasks to do everyday. It would soon become clear if they never asnwered the fone for example or never updated the thing.

But for me: on Monday I got emails from X to help with creating a report which I did immediately. Yesterday I got A SINGLE SOLITARY EMAIL about booking something. I have a couple of forms to update in my inbox but there's no rush. My fone never rings.
 
Oh.

Good! :mad:

Both of these threads are struggling without Badgers. Have we made a terrible mistake thinking we could manage without him? :(

Sorry! Am full of self doubt. It's the curse of being a girl...
 
I bought some earrings yesterday - put them on today and ... have already lost one :mad:

I know they were only £1.00 in the sale but still. I Like them :(
 
I don't know Marts.

I feeling a bit anxious and I'm pretty much the hype gal/5t3IIa's lackey...eep!
 
Look: I am not trying to be all dictatorish and that - I though it was generally accepted, in a lol-lol-de-lol fashion, that I was going to be the wanker and start a new thread as soon as Badgers went away.

I'll be absolutely gutted if you all reject me but I expect I'll get over it.
 
This thread is still in its early days, finding its feet.

Like a newborn Bambi :cool:

Give it time and it'll be bouncing around with its best friend Thumper, and looking pretty, any day now.
Today Urban75, tomorrow advertising crap drinks in tiny bottles.



Unfortunately this does mean that Stella is the cruel hunter that shot the previous thread / its mother :(

I never use temps tbh. The agencies charge too much. I have thought about using temps - but like you say, there WOULD be plenty of work for them, cos I wouldn't spend all that money for someone to do a few jobs that a full timer could fit in

I'm in a huuuge organisation in Central London so it's a little bit different. If I was in a small org in zone 2 then I'd be all over the jobs like a rash.

Yeh, guessed as much - big companies are excellent at spending lots of money :D
 
In other news, I would like to eat my fucking lunch without getting up and down at the twatting door every 2 minutes


FUCK OFF :mad::mad::mad::mad:

I'm here, and on board!

Apols for my earlier wavering - my blood sugar/caffiene levels were low.

Hope this temporary blip won't overshadow my earlier sterling efforts

*passes a free bag to stells*

In proppa dragging news: I've got lots on today, but almost fun stuff, putting goodies bags together for my new trainees :)

On the downside, my favourite person at work is in one of her manic phases and is being loud, irritablem hyperactive and has a laugh/screech that chills my very bones on days like this. :rolleyes:
