The Temp

[TimberWolf]

I took the professional route, smiled sweetly then complained about it on the internet. Of course I know I'm not permanent, but the word "temp" brings up images of teenage girls packing envelopes and making coffee.

Actually to me "the temp" conjures up an image of a film title, with Jim Carey playing the part a temporary IT worker who constantly flips up, or maybe has some calamitous flirtations with office totty.

Nothing wrong with that image... So long as they're late teens of course.

Just respond with, "It's your pound, I'll be whoever you want me to be honey."

Lay back and think of England.

It was a Mayday call from a French ship: "Le bateau is sinking off Germany!"

I have just been introduced to someone at my client site as "the temp". I don't quite know how to feel about this.

Make discrete inquiries as to what happened with the previous guy in your job...

I was once introduced to the boss as the expert consultant who was going solve all the clients problems.

Scary! I prefer my clients to have low expectations. That way, they're not disappointed

I've always thought of myself as a temp.

Consultants work in hospitals, Contractors build houses, so I'm definitely a temp.
