So, I've been temping at a factory for a little over two months now, and it looks like I'll be hired on in good time; the next hire date is January. Props to me! Right?...

It's pretty good work. Just labour, but there's some 'mindwork' to it. Actually, it's all very satisfying and kind of helps to release tension sometimes. Well... aside from it being the night shift, I mean.

In the mornings when management comes in to assess and do their thing, we're always prompted to be busybodies and keep active even if there's nothing to do. We usually just end up pretending to sweep the floors.

WHAT I LIKE TO DO is pretend that they have the same peripheral vision interceptors as the t-rex from 'Jurassic Park', except in reverse. When the bigwigs walk by you, all you have to do is stay in motion and make 'cleaning' motions and their brains will tell them you are in fact deserving of a salary. If you are perfectly still, however, they pick up your idle location immediately and have you canned before ripping you to pieces with their razor sharp mandibles.

Well. Not quite like that.

But, close.
