dchenesNow I understand about kitchens at work, since I've never had one around before. It doesn't help terribly much that the kitchen here is on the same floor as the executive offices, and therefore has decent coffee and good leftovers (when there are leftovers) in it. Fortunately I'm staying out of the leftovers, because it's usually fruit and involves pineapple, or it's muffins, which I don't really want. I can see where it would be dangerous, though.
It's interesting how this job is different for me as a temp than it would be if I had actually been hired for it. I have more spare time as a temp, because if I knew I was staying here, I'd start rearranging things so that they made sense to me. For now I'm following somebody else's system, because inheriting bits of several different people's ideas of how things should be is a guaranteed headache. So I can get away with spending my spare time writing journal entries, because I'm not spending the time revamping the files and rearranging things. (At least not much; the secretary I replaced is taller than I am, so what was within reach for her is just out of reach for me.)
