A Temp Gets No Respect

| | Comments (815)

How I hate pretentious people! Working as a temp, I imagine that its par for course to have to work with people that think they're better than you- luckily for me, most of my experiences haven't been that bad. Until this week.

First of all, let me describe the office I'm working in. It's a financial office (don't ask me what exactly they do I couldn't tell you) and as such, there's a secure key-card entry door. EVERYBODY has a key card- even I get a key card, but why is it that the whole company is lazy??? Besides being a receptionist, I'm also a glorified doorman thanks to a little button I have under my desk that unlocks the door. I have do my reception-ing duties as well as keep a sharp eye for people walking up to the door (who work here and all have cards) so I can press the button to save them the 3 steps it takes to swipe the card. God forbid I'm looking down or something or I'll get one of 3 things: 1) The Irritated expression (Oh-my-God-I-have-to-reach-into-my-pocket-find-my-card-and-walk-over-and-swipe-it); 2)The Bemused expression (I'm-confused-why-isn't-the-door-open?) or my personal favourite; 3)The tap on the glass door (Hello-look-up-please-and-see-me-standing-here). Either that or I'll get a combination of the three (#1 and #3 together are sooo obnoxious).

I just think in general office workers are lazy. They sit for most of the day and when they actually walk around the thought of adding a few extra steps to swipe their card is apparently abhorrent. Of course I'm an office worker now too- but look at me! I'm writing this blog AT WORK!!! Laziness is a disease and it's spreading. When I first started doing this work, I was so eager to find things to do. Coming from a retail environment (as a merchandiser) I was used to a frenetic pace of work. Working in an office is completely different. Here, everyone is so used to having things done for them. Coffee that magically appears (me), a dishwasher lest they soil their hands (I load it), and a magical fridge that never runs out of tasty drinks (I restock it ) etc. Now, I've almost become one of them. I surf the internet all day, read the newspaper a little bit, check my mail and basically do nothing. I pretend to want more work in order to 'seem' eager, but in reality I'm happy getting paid to do nil. I tell you, it's a disease.

Anyway, back to the present. This morning there was a problem sending out some UPS boxes. The instructions that I'd been left didn't cover the problem so naturally I was forced to ask my supervisor. At first she acted like I was dumb, like how could there be a problem? Then she made to do it herself (because apparently I must just be stupid to mess it up) and she had the same problems herself. It was annoying because all of my suggestions, she dismissed out of hand, then ended up having to use them anyway when her own ideas didnt work. Her attitude made me feel like, quite frankly, she thought I didn't even have my GED. I guess because I'm temping that means I have no choices so I must be uneducated. Whatever. Pretentious bitch.

I pretty recently started working in an office after leaving my cosmetology apprenticeship &I'll hve to agree with you it's made me pretty lazy. As you can see I'm not really doing anything... 8.5 hours a day of celebrity gossip blogs &myspace.

What did you leave cosmetology for ?

Hope you've got another job lined up because it's par for the course for offices to check what the computers are being used for. Internet surfing to the point of porn, okay, but complaining about where you work, not okay. Be careful!
