it's just dressed up to look nice

threeplusfireReading about my former place of employment makes me realize that temp work is a glorified form of day labour. What I did was precisely like what goes on with all the men waiting in empty parking lots around Austin in the morning.
A peaceful day. Read lots of Harry Potter, worked on my Christmas cards, went to work. Saw the Wildebeast in the store, and minutes after she left all the power went out. I wonder if bad karma causes electrical shorts. It was kind of fun, except for the customers.
A regular day, aside from the violent fits of coughing. I couldn't speak at the register when a customer asked me a question, so I had to gesture at another employee for an answer. In the middle of coughing, I thought of all the coughing that Snape does in various bits of fanfic and started to laugh. Or rather, convulse and cough. Which must have seemed horrific for the customers.
