Breaking Wind Part Three

If the assignments I'm doing aren't that interesting, my co-workers continue to be so.

My supervisor runs hot and cold. One day she can be friendly and chummy, the next day she's agitated and annoyed. My manager is a little better, although she tends to assign me the more mind-numbing tasks. But then, who am I to argue if you want to give me accounting clerk work for a staff accountant's salary?

I had a nice talk with Ho Chi Minh while walking to the train one afternoon. He's been at the job site since December. He was originally supposed to take over White Chocolate's duties but that transfer never happened for some unknown reason. He's still keeping busy though. And since he continues to be invited to all the employee meetings - including today's all-staff meeting - it still appears that his formal job offer is imminent.

Robocop has actually started greeting me hello in a friendly way. He's also loosened up a bit with the people he normally works with. Today he asked me how long I was told my assignment would be. Apparently he was told he would be working through this month at first but that now he's been extended to May, which I told him was my end date as well. That would make sense as the company's trade show is the first week of May. Based on my own convention experience, not to mention the company's small staff, I figure that the bulk of their staff will be headed out of town. So there won't be any work for Robocop and me. RC says if he finds another temp opportunity before theis assignment ends, he'll leave, figuring that he may have a long gap between work. I understand what he's saying but I would like to put a couple positive references in my pocket.

Meanwhile, the library has not yet applied a pick-axe to its hiring freeze. *sigh*
