"Advantages of Being a Temp"
1. You're only lending your soul, not selling it.
2. You won't be there when the fruits of your
labor turn rotten.
3. Trying on a different personality at each
new job site.
4. You don't have to continually fork over part
of your paycheck for co-workers' weddings,
babies, birthdays and anniversaries, or children's
school, scouts, athletic, and band fund-raising
efforts.
5. No one gives you clothes emblazoned with
the company logo and then expects you to wear
them.
6. You can avoid the internal "war." I once
temped at an office so divided and filled with
hate, one half wouldn't even speak with the other...
it was my job to convey messages between the
enemy camps.
7. Your true Pointy-Haired Boss is usually miles
away...and the "customer" PHB can (often) be
ignored.
8. Overtime at time and a half! Woo-Hoo!
9. Leaving at 4:30.
10. Eight Words: "It was like that when I got here."
11. You get to hear the words, "Good job" and,
'Please stay" frequently.
12. When the company goes out backwards
your resume says you worked for an agency.
13. You don't give a rat's hoohaa what the stock
is doing.
14. I know my end date. The directs don't.
15. It's like being the only lemming in the group
with a parachute...
