I mean, what if ...I see the need for the security. I mean, what if someone stole the secret formula??? Egad.<br /><br />I put in my time (lots of it) as a temp. My experiences whilst sitting on the switchboard for one company included both an obscene phone call and a bomb threat. Does it get more exciting than that? Well, yeah, actually, it does. My favorite temp job was at a brewery, where in the coffee room, along with the coffee maker and the microwave, was a <i>working beer tap</i>.<br /><br />BTW, one of those temp jobs became permanent, lasting over 10 years. So keep on keepin' on. You never know where it may lead.PattiKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894925987580502697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-88077022706215154222011-05-14T20:47:21.496+10:002011-05-14T20:47:21.496+10:00i just wanna know why they are wearing hairnets in...i just wanna know why they are wearing hairnets in the canteen?kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34591549.post-48894963523392372132011-05-12T16:47:43.831+10:002011-05-12T16:47:43.831+10:00What can I say.

Despite the absurdity of it all - you still have a way of putting things that hit it right on the nose. Have you ever read monica dickens book about when she worked as a cook for various families despite being "above" them on the social scale? Hilarious. Anyway - sounds like a sucky job but think of it as fodder for your "tell all" book about being a mature woman in the working world. Hey...sounds perfect for a miss em illustration. <br />Anyway - sorry the job is so silly.
