does anyone want to be my temp one day a week?

i'm being seconded to another office 2.5 days a week, so we'll need to get a temp in for one or two days a week. i'm worried that if we get a real temp in, then they might let on that there really isn't enough work to justify having them. someone from ilx is obviously more than capable of looking busy doing nothing.

i can't guarantee anything, but i'm sure if i said 'i know someone that's interested' they'd consider it...you'd do the basic admin stuff-- answering emails and setting up meetings and stuff.

it's a long flight to work here in sunny islington, london. but i'll keep you on the list...

When's it from Colette? I'm mad busy until at least mid-Feb, but would like to stay mad busy (I'm on a get out of debt campaign.) I guess this isn't much use to you is it?

I'm willing to relocate.

i'm starting the other thing feb 2. dunno if they want someone to start right away or not.

if i don't already have a fulltime job i'd be so up for that. unless you want someone in on saturdays...

Does it involve answering the phone? I'm back in the UK from 2nd Feb and will be looking for work (maybe part time combined with school, maybe full time, I don't know yet) but I can't do anything involving phones.

Colette, mailed you...

so far today i've had one phone call. yesterday i had one as well. it's not a switchboard or anything, usually people asking stupid questions that could easily be answered by 'oh, i'm sorry, i'm a temp. you should talk to the manager' (who is never working, by the way. since we came back to work on the 5th she's been off 8 full and 2 half days. that means she's worked 5 whole days. crazy)

I'd love to, but I'm not sure my boss'd appreciate it!

i'm not that surprised that applications for being stevem's bitch is more popular than this...

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 23 January 2004 15:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it's all about the hair!

― Pinksta (Pinkpanther), Friday, 23 January 2004 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

i think you're right. that, or the thread i started yesterday about the fact that blutack was the highlight of my job...

― colette (a2lette), Friday, 23 January 2004 16:01 (twenty-two years ago)

well, i've worked hard enough for one day. i've answered the phone once, answered one email and just made 5 copies. i'm going home.

Bye Colette *waves* see you in Scotland!

For Grand Canyon read Loch Ness...

I really will do this, if it's later in the month. (Oh dear). I am good at looking busy and I can even do admin stuff.

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 23 January 2004 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe it would help if you posted pictures of your hair...?

― the river fleet, Friday, 23 January 2004 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

(That was a helpful hint to Colette, not to Anna, though I must say Anna has very lovely hair.)

― the river fleet, Friday, 23 January 2004 16:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Thanks!

I bought a bottle of awful cider at a gas station in Islington once.... I'll temp for you.

― andy, Friday, 23 January 2004 17:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm interested. I live (very) locally and have (loads of) experience in office jobs/looking like I'm busy/being busy doing other things.

aw man, now this is complicated! i don't want to have to pick between people that i like. hmm. what's the best way of sorting it?

(i guess i could always say 'i have several friends that are interested. here are their cv's' and let my boss sort it out...)

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 26 January 2004 12:21 (twenty-two years ago)

Prolly the best way Colette, unless you know one of the ilxors better than another & then you might prefer to work with them.
