Something you can do at a temp job that you probably wouldn't do in a real job -

When the boss says "Come into my office when you have a minute"*, take your time to finish your solitaire game, check two email accounts and pee before shuffling up the stairs to see him.


* When I finally made it up there, one of the first things he said was that he needed to see what it was going to take to get me permanent there. "D'you know what it's gone take?" he asks me. I really, really, really, really wanted to say "Darlin, you can't afford me" - because it sounds so deliciously whore-ish and I've always wanted to say that to someone, and, in this case, it's mostly true, but I don't know that he has a sense of humor enough to find that even remotely amusing (and, as small as this paycheck is, I still need it)
