The life of a Temp worker is a sad one, temping assignments can be vastly different, some your the only person and you get thrown into either a large office where you are lost, some you are thrown into a little office where you are used for low grade tasks and aren't taken seriously.
Then there is the temp work that I have been used to for around 14 years. You are thrown in with a group of around 12 people either into an existing organisation or a task that has to be done by a Government organisation, these tasks are schedule to last around three to six months.
In the words of Tim from the Office, you don't know these people, but you are thrown together to walk around on the same bit of carpet every day for eight hours.
There is of course the Office Politics, which always leads to trouble and its always the good people that tends to suffer, while the people who cause the trouble get ask to stay on and they listened to, its the age old thing, it's not what you know, its who you know.
Then there's the thing that has always got me, you finish an assignment, you swap emails/cell numbers/ facebook pages, but over the months the contact become less and less, until the people you had a connection with, just become another memory, another part of your life that is over.
That's the thing that I have never dealt with, I just finished another assignment, we will stay in contact with each other for a while, then as time passes we will stop contact all together, which is sad, because I think back on my first assignment 14 years ago and I can barley remember faces, let alone names.
But that is the life of a temp worker, which I don't think I can be part of again.
I just do blogging as a hobby, my family, friends coworkers don't know I have a blog, this is not a career,
So I'm guessing a career change from office temp work, who knows where I will be in six months time.
