Sadly, I was gonna post all these snarky comments about the new temp job, but I can't do it. Everyone in the office is so undermanned and overwhelmed and they're such nice people stuck in a really crappy situation beyond their control that I feel too sorry for them to make fun of them. The server's not working yet so they're backing everything up on floppies, the photo copier just broke down this morning, the Temp Agency put the kaibosh on their plans to have us escort guards to and from clinics, and the payroll person at corporate forgot to mail out the paychecks so they've been getting calls all day from disgruntled guards wondering where their paycheck is. They're so overwhelmed that they're not even sure which guard is where and which place has guards and which doesn't. In a way, I actually don't mind being there because I feel like I'm helping not the company, but the poor employees. But then again, I'm a softy at heart.

And the 24-year old, Red Bull guzzling, just flew in from D.C., girl in charge of everything is so frazzled I'm afraid to ask her anything or bug her with anything because she's an inch away from going postal. Twice this morning, I thought the sniffles were gonna come, but she fought them off both times. I feel so bad for her, in fact, that I want to give her my number, tell her she really needs to get liquored and that I like to get liquored, so I'll take her out to tie a few on. See softy comment. And see "I like to get liquored part".

And remember folks, these are the people who are in charge of making sure our Federal Buildings are safe and secure.....
