Unexpectedly, I obtained a temp job yesterday and started the job today. My flakey temp agency representative has been less than impressive in securing me some temporary employment, so I was very skeptical that this position would actually pull through. I was instructed to be in the lobby of the building at 8:30 am to meet my employer. After 45 minutes of waiting I was cursing Janelle from Adecco because I assumed that she flaked out once again. Finally I was escorted up to my office where I was given my assignment for the next two days, stuff fliers into 600 folders. (I went to college for this? But I suppose for $12.50 an hour I would have LICKED envelopes for 8 hours.) Thankfully I have plenty of folder stuffing experience and I finished it all in 3 hours. My supervisor was thoroughly impressed and kept telling everybody what a wonderful and efficient job I had done. She had been quite cold with me when I first arrived in the morning and by the afternoon she was asking me if I would consider applying for this job. No, I want to be a temp my whole life. It's amazing what kind of fuck-tards they must get in there if stuffing folders efficiently is enough to get you hired.

I have my very own cubicle on the Folgers Coffee floor, which is a good floor to be on since they give employees all the free coffee you can drink. I will be working with some people on the Tide floor. Technically, I work for the Tide division. I wish I had a desk up there because it smells very good. When I was talking to Heather Ricketts about working for Tide she joked that it would smell good, and I was very surprised when it did! The Folgers floor smells like a dentist office.

It is weird to be in such a corporate environment. Everybody had bottles of detergent sitting on their desks, for like, inspiration or something. They are planning a big "fabric care" marketing meeting on friday and they are using phrases like "pride and passion for fabric care." HAHAHA! I mean, I like clean clothes as much as the next person, but this is bizarre. I wonder if I do get hired to work there, am I going to start buying this corporate lingo? It's deathly silent in the office, which kind of creeps me out since all the other offices I have worked in have been rather bustly. I think it will be fine, and they pay is great for right now, I just hate that it's temporary and I will be asked to leave at any time. Grrrr. I suppose I can't get everything at once.
