I really hate coming back from vacation and finding the temp has totally changed things around. And being fussy like I am, I hate seeing somebody else’s handwriting in my appointment book. I like a clean desktop on my computer; she left it littered with items including a PDF copy of her résumé. (At least that afforded me the opportunity to learn she graduated high school a year after I did. It also told me she already has a B.A. in Political Science, but at least I graduated high school before she did, dammit. Interestingly enough, she was also in Kappa Alpha Theta and participated in the curious thing that is Birthright Israel.) She even left my chair at a different height setting. My boss said the temp did a great job, she learns quickly…so what the hell do they need me back for if she’s so great? I like going on vacation, but damn I hate coming back.

Added She even started a new folder with her name in a stupid place for the stuff she was working on. Hello, honey, I told you what tables to save things in and they were already there so why did you go and put data in the wrong place where it shouldn’t be? And my boss just mentioned that she kept the key to the door. He gave the temp the key to the door, even though they are so damn worried about security back here. I wasn’t gone that long, for crying out loud.
