Oh yeah. I'm a temp.

How many weeks till I go back to school?

Got snapped at for putting something where I was told to put it by the boss. Got teased for picking up a cookie in the lunchroom (mildly). Set up a meeting on the day the boss wanted it - then she nixed it, she can't be there.

Oh. God. I remember now why I'm going back to school.

I hate secretarial work. And after 15 years, I should know by now.

And you haven't even added:

"I know it's 5.29 and I've had all day to ask you this, but would you kindly type this letter, heat bind these contracts, make these illegible amendments, call these clients and lie about why I haven't returned their calls yet, and find the file whose name I've forgotten that dates from 1982 and is somewhere in the 400 boxes stacked in the basement. Urgent? I asked you. Of course it's urgent! Do you now know how important I am?!?!"

and also:

"Just because I am an ignorant cretin who if they ever came across a semi-colon would probably used it to clean out their ears DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT TO EDIT MY PUNCTUATION!!!"

I feel your pain, sister!

You finish your course and get out there and manage stuff! I can't believe you're not the CEO of your own business already.

*wipes computer screen* Okay. This cracked me up. Yes, I think they would work for that, come to think of it.
