Mr C Temp
March 20th 2007 11:17
Still don't know whether I'm going to be in this job long-term. I talked to the boss today and the person I'm replacing is coming back next week, but she has still got chemotherapy to go, so she may be coming and going a bit, depending on how she copes with it.
The boss is happy to keep me on, but what I'll actually be doing is the issue. Cleaning out the storage cupboard nobody else wants to clean out, probably.
I'm still very much 'the Temp' round the place, although obviously they call me by name. (Not sure that any of them know my surname, though!). On the in and out board I'm 'Temp.' My email address is contracting.temp@etc... and I appear as contracting temp in a number of other places. (Contracting because I work in the contracting administration section.)
It's a strange feeling to have gone from being a somebody to a nobody. It's probably for my own good, to cleanse me of some of my arrogance and pride, to make me admit that I'm not really the 'servant' I claim to be - to myself at least - and that I need to be brought down low to refine the inner character. All sounds very good and spiritual, but I ain't enjoying it!
