Temp Assistant:
Me: *goes to manager's office* I'm having trouble working with the temp assistant replacing my assistant. Can I work with one of the other three?
Manager: It's only for another couple days. Please try to work with her. (Unsaid: everyone else already asked not to work with her, so you're stuck)
Me: We are really, really incompatible.
Manager: I know she's difficult, and the more you try to direct or correct her, the more stubborn she gets. How about trying to kill her with kindness?
Me: Very well. *renames shovel "kindness"*
Wow.
*collapses on couch* Home again! Now to rest for a bit and begin putting my apartment back together.
One good thing about this is we got the kitchen packed last night. Like all boxed up for the move. The kitchen is one of the most time consuming rooms.
And now to put stuff back in closets and sweep up all the dead bugs.
