Originally Posted By aehuckjensen ^^It depends. There are jobs that last a day or a few days to a few months. If you like meeting new people and learning new things, then being a temp is great. The worst part about it is that you usually don't get benefits, including insurance and paid holidays.

Originally Posted By aehuckjensen LOL, the LP has plenty of wolves. I'm in trouble today for telling someone that some people are offended by the term "Oriental" instead of "Asian".

It's a good thing you can't smack people over the internet.

I am green and it'll do fine It's beautiful! And I think it's what I want to be
