Under Siege 12: Revenge of the Temp
Remember I told you about the temps working in my office? You know, the ones who we thought were falling in love? Long story short, it didn't work out. Got one of the temps a full time job at my dad's office.
At the time, temp number 2 (T2) pretended to be all, "OMG, congratulations, I am so happy for you! How nice of this very important young man to take a few moments out of his busy day to change your fucking life," when in actual fact he was thinking, "Hey fucker, why haven't you taken a few moments out of your busy day to change my fucking life." Well, let me answer your question in two parts: a) What? and b) We're not selling cakes.
Three weeks on, T2 is STILL here. Everytime one of us tells him it is his last day he tricks someone else into inviting him back.
Truth be told, I'm not even sure if he is doing anything anymore. He is always on the phone and last time he went down to the basement for supplies he was gone an hour and spotted walking up King Street.
He has also started working strange hours. Two hours before we arrive and two hours after we leave, he says.
So, what to do about the part time temp turned full time hustler? He's so nice to our faces and it was us who gave him an inch. I suppose it is only God's way that he should take a mile. Damn us and our complete lack of management skills.
I think it is all going to come to a head before Christmas so I let you know how it goes. If you don't hear anything by New Year, call the police.
