stream of consciousness was invented by a woman
I’m enjoying reading this: http://www.slate.com/id/2126351?nav=wp and it is actually making me consider reading Faulkner. I think I tried to read As I Lay Dying once, many years ago, to no avail, and then I somehow got Faulkner and Steinbeck confused or combined in my head. I loved The Grapes of Wrath. I should read that again.
The temp job I have today is ridiculous. I’ve been here since ten (it’s now nearly two) and I’ve done maybe fifteen minutes of work. The whole morning was taken up with the man I’m working with futzing around in a clueless stupor. I feel bad for him, but it’s not like I can really help him find the files I need or anything. I don’t work here! I think I might actually ask not to be placed here again on Monday. It feels stupid AND rude to do that, but I’m just so uncomfortable with no work to do and so little guidance on the few things I’ve been able to figure out. I get the impression they’re behind schedule on some stuff, but if it’s all as simple as the things I’ve done, they really should have just buckled down and done it themselves instead of hiring an expensive temp.
Also, there’s no timesheet in the staffing company’s system for me today, which needs to be fixed so I can submit my hours before Monday afternoon so I can get paid for this ridiculousness.
The only good thingwell, there are two, hold onis the company has good and multiple employee cafeterias. I had a rather nice chicken salad sandwich for lunch. It was cold and creamy and had fresh lettuce and tomato on it and was made to order and just really hit the spot. Also every graphics workstation has the same 23“ display I had at CDI. Ah, nostalgia.
