So people are easy to fool, and it's easy enough to spin temping into something that sounds important and interesting. The first step is to refer to your work as 'contractual' rather than 'temporary'. this isn't inaccurate, but it's overbroad in the same way uncomfortable is overbroad when what you mean is flayed alive. contractual work includes important people - consultants, experts, associated counsel, advisors. temp work includes people who, for whatever reason, don't have a real job but did go to law school.">Legal</a> <a href="http://inertiacrept.livejournal.com/41219.html" title="the database crashed a little under an hour before i arrived at work that day, which meant there wasn't enough time for them to call those of us who hadn't come in yet and tell us not to bother, and besides, it was the official firm policy that we should be permitted to stay in the office and bill time...
