Like so many times before, Jack O'Neill said it best.

"I'd like to apologize in advance for anything I may say or do that could be construed as offensive as I slowly go nuts!"

Six hours into the work day, minus half an hour for lunch, and nothing in my in-box, nobody asking for help, no onging tasks to be done. I don't know what's worse, the waiting, the guilt, or the generalized nerves.

Or the isolation. Stuck out here in no man's land.

Need contact with other human beings.

Help?

I used to have a job where I spent half my day rushed off my feet without even enough time to sit down between information seekers, and the other half sat behind a desk where I had no access to the right information sources and could literally do no work at all. Within seven months I'd become so depressed and demotivated that I handed in my notice without a job to go to (the first and - so far - only time I've ever taken that risk).

So, big :hugs: and I hope things pick up for you. You keep going around and asking if there's any work for you, so it sounds like you're doing the right thing. Is there perhaps another department nearby you could try asking in?

Well...

You going to be coherent after 9? Been using peak minutes up more than usual, but I've got plenty of off-peak if you want to rant to someone on the phone.

Probably gonna be ready to crash by 9pm, but thanks! (The problem hours were really 9am to 4pm...)

Boy, sounds like most of my temp jobs. Fortunately, I hate people, so I can deal with isolation.

Okay, I don't *hate* people--most of the time--but I'm not precisely a people person. I'm more of a dog person. They make more sense most of the time.

Not too pleasant to be the Forgotten Temp. I always think there should be a Dilbert book by that name.

And it would also be a bit nice if there was an intermediate speed between "dead stop" and "full afterburners"...
