Actually, I think I'm the one getting the "whippin'" right now. This temp job I took is a fairly serious analog to watching paint dry. I can hardly wait until Nov. 1st when I start my "real" job.
Not sure how much time that one is going to allow me to play online though. Could be a rather packed first couple of weeks.
It usually takes about two weeks to get comfortable with a new job, and once you know what’s expected, you may end up with more free time than you think. Unless they promote you right away!
You’ve only got to “endure” this one for another week.
