There was a dusting of snow on the ground this morning when I got up. This seemed to have the immediate result of freaking out everyone in a 50 mile radius of my home. By the time I left the house for work, our streets were salted and in some cases actually dry, but people were driving as if they were oiled. Of course, I still wasn't actually late for work, but I understand a lot of people were. The word is out at work that I'm up for grabs (so to speak) and departments are trying to put a claim on me. Not as an attorney mind you, but as an all-around helper. I might be a secretary, I might be someone else's assistant, all I know is I'm going to be a nomad. No real phone, no real desk, just here there and everywhere, and that depresses me. More than once this week I've thought about just plain not showing up, but I'm not that sort of worker. My ambition is fleeing with every passing day, because I just get the impression that I'm seen here as a chump that needs a check. While that's not untrue, I have ambitions and skills far beyond the standard temp, and have now worked here 7 months. Was it really necessary to remind me yesterday that because of my temp status I won't be getting a bonus? *sigh*
