Lesson of the Day
Today I learned that a good set of claws will make life easier.
My first day of work went well. The company that the agency placed me at seems decent, and the position is temp to perm for the right person (meaning me). Right now I have to get a whole bunch of documents ready to scan, so I spent the day removing staples from packets so they’ll go through the scanner. It was mindless busy work, but it was busy, and the day went by pretty fast.
Tomorrow I have a bunch more stuff to un-staple, then I get to learn how to scan it all in. It all seems really easy, and I was told it’s pretty hard to screw up royally, but even so, there were 3 temps before me who couldn’t cut it. But having worked in the staffing industry, I know that those kinds of people are exactly why temping has a bad name.
I am excellent at staple removal. Why didn’t anyone contact me?
Those claws also come in handy when keeping grabby-grabby people away from your desk and its contents.
I stumbled upon your blog. I like the way you write.
