Assignment 9: Another Commercial Property Company in the City
Loved it, very similar to PPP.  Busy but organised.  Another temp started same time as me, but she was brand new to temping, didn’t know how to use the fax and got flustered doing the work.  Consequently, by comparison, I was brilliant!  The woman I was working for (who I looked up to enormously because she was just so confident) told me to apply for the job I was doing, and I was dead keen.  Then HR informed her that they’d already filled the vacancy. 

Whilst I was there, I discovered some abandoned spectacles in a drawer and, as I was desperately poor at the time and these were quite trendy glasses, I have to admit that I took them. 

The only drawback to this assignment was, because they were some way out of the city, they had an hour and a quarter for lunch, which I felt - because I didn’t like shopping and because I was being paid by the hour - was a waste of my valuable time (they wouldn’t let me go early in lieu of a shorter lunch, which some places allowed if I whinged enough).  I was sad to leave.
