Why hasn't anybody written a song about temping? We've all done it.

Out temp jobs have been rather trying since we've been in NH. Not that we are incompetent people, but the jobs and people we have to work with were so boring and hard to deal with. The first temp gig was with a National Health Care provider, and Bill and I worked together, which was nice. We could have our lunches together, and we could drive Margaritaville to work and back. "Who is Margaritaville?", you ask... Oh that's the white Taurus that belongs to Bill's Uncle, you can tell because the it's covered in Buffett related stickers and the license plate reads "MGT8VL". He's a big Jimmy Buffet fan. Need I say more? He's been so kind to allow us to use his spare car. Thanks to him we have saved so much money since the Suburban is easily an $80 fill up. It seems as if most (if not all) office jobs in NH begin their day at 8:00 am with flexibility to arrive even earlier. These fools we worked with would came in at 6:00 am then make you feel lazy if you stroll in a few minutes past 8:00 am. I don't know about you, but where I come from in California, 8:00 is goddamn early. How is one supposed to be productive? So here I would come in a casual 10 minutes late, (no biggie right?) and holy shit, that gave the whole office something to gossip about all day long. It's just unreal how bored these people are.

My second job was with the NH lottery commission. The people I worked with there very nice and the job they had me do was tolerable. I was there for only two weeks but get this... You know how on the back of a scratch off there is usually an address to send your loser tickets to for a second chance drawing. Well, that's where I came in. Thanks to me, hundreds of losing lottery players in NH now get a second chance at wining a prize. My job was to credit their accounts accordingly. The things I learned about the lottery was that 1. You gotta play to win 2. You gotta pay to play and 3. Old people tend to win, cause they are the ones paying to play and playing to win. I really admire the people who play the lottery. I feel like I myself might become a full time lottery player. People do really win. You actually can win 1,000,000 from a scratch off ticket. I now know this, cause I saw it happen. Some players were inclined to send along their own thoughts and drawings with their entries. I couldn't resist a few photos. I found these to be very endearing...
