When do you know you're One Day Only Temp Assignment as Towel Picker-Upper is becoming the never-ending Temp Assignment?
-When everyone knows who you are and even notice when you get a haircut
-When other employees think you're a regular employee and asks you questions about things like Orientation meetings or time cards
-When everyone assumes that you've worked there more than the five days that you have and gets slightly huffy when you don't know the little things. Things like how to clean hair brushes or fold robes
-You become confused on how to do things because four different people have told you four different things
-You start figuring out which things you should do as opposed to others based on your reading of office politics (ie, the crazy Chinese women with painted on eyebrows and a wig is even crazier than you thought and not well liked by the extremely anal retentive German lesbian who manages the place).
-Everyone expects you to know enough to know what to do, but not enough to get it right so whenever something goes wrong or somebody does something wrong, it is automatically assumed that it is you who did it.
And finally….
-When you start thinking you could turn semi-regular One Day Only Temp job into a steady part-time gig because you know they're shorthanded but become kind of disappointed when you look at this week's schedule and notice that they found somebody to take the open spot.
Oh, and there's a sign in the break room that essentially says this: "If asked, please do not say that we 'raised' prices. Instead, tell them that we 'revised' the menu."
