Tad's Rules for Work

I always arrived early to a temp assignment and always on time for my 10-year permanent position, for one.

I usually got stoned on 1-hour lunch.

I made habit of getting same thing for lunch and eating in my car, listening to talk radio Dr Laura Schlesinger, who wasn't a real doctor, and would give blunt direct advice on how to throw him out! And I'd smoke a bowl of weed.

I'd come back reeking, but got no more than snickers and smiles. I was a high-paid temp and I took full advantage of it. None of my multiple assignments ever ended with a complaint, save one.

I was good and well trained. Out of business college, I graduated on Friday and started, out of 10 ppl, with Councilwoman Peggy Stevenson, her word processor. She loved my beautiful spell checked docs. I look great in a suit, I'm six four! White, Norwegian, good looking, more so way back then. She lost an election after a year so all her staff was fired to with good references.

Then during a temp job was hired at childrens hospital loa Angeles which was in Hollywood for 10 years as computer support coordinator and left a a high salary with awesome severance package one week's pay for every year all my sick time, not much, and vacation, etc.

I was making $18/hr back then, the agency charges $26 and hour or whatever, and you could choose your assignments

I would clean and arrange whosever cubicle I was filling in at. And find what tasks she refused to do, or needed done.

I didn't mind if my boss looked over my shoulder working on a doc. You'd be surprised how many bad workers there are.

My motto was so all you can to make your bosse's life easier. Lying is doable if directed, it's on him. Like he's out.
