My Life As A Vicious NYC Temp:
The Way I Was
When I first began temping, I mostly specialized in techincal work which paid no money. I actually had a programming job at Verizon which paid $14.00/hr.
A friend of mine who knew Word Perfect was the one who told me about working at night and on weekends at word processing centers.
My friend worked mostly at law firms but he also worked at Credit Suisse First Boston. One night, First Boston needed another temp and my friend called me and that was how I managed to break into the "Word Processing Center Market". Once I had First Boston as a Center and on my resume (and a "White Boy" recommending me), I was able to get into other centers and become the Vicious Money Hungry Career Destroying Bitch that I am today.
But I can still remember the days when I only worked days and $16.00/hr was like a fucking good thang. I can still remember the way I was ...
