Assignment 4: Another Solicitors in the City
		It was a small team of three secretaries working for five ‘fee earners’ (i.e. bosses) and a nice, friendly place t work.  One of the secretaries was middle aged and going through the menopause.  She also like to talk, and constantly regaled us with grisly details of her every ‘change’, which quite put me off my lunch (I lost almost half a stone on that two week assignment!).  First hour I was there, Big Boss came storming out of his office at the end of the corridor and started berating me for doing a heading wrong on his letter.  “Give me a break,” I told him, “I just got here.”   He glared at me and wandered off without saying anything else, but he was terribly nice to me after that – not many people stood up to him, apparently, but I was just a ‘temp', what did I care?  By accident, I came across an email on my computer which read, “Agency sending someone who can type at 80 words per minute, which is v. good,” which cheered me no end.  Wangled leaving early on my last Friday by working through lunch.  As I raced out of the office, I passed the boss in the hallway and yelled my goodbyes, noticing as I did that he had a large box of Thorntons chocolates in his hand which I’m sure was destined for me - missed out there!
