Work! (II)

[inulro]

The temp job is working out just fine. I'm doing admin in the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry. I have more responsibility and autonomy than I had in two years at the law office. The lady I am working for tells me what to do and doesn't want to see it, proof read it, or otherwise hear about it again. This suits me just fine. I am loving being in a room with one or two other people (depending on part timers), and having to go upstairs to fax and photocopy, instead of being stuck at my desk in the open plan all day. I can't describe the relief at being back in my natural environment. The days have just flown by, and when that happens I ingest much less caffeine and am not hungry all the time.

I'm hoping to get a gig like that some day... wish I knew how to get over the subject of my appaling lack of a work record though.

I've kind of cheated in that I have years of doing that kind of work. I started at almost all my jobs as a temp - once you can get some work, being reliable and even vaguely useful tends to keep you in work, and are less bothered about your past than "real" employers tend to be.
