This review is from: Temporarily Yours (1) (Paperback)

A tome of meaningful "temp-isodes" from a woman who has truly bridged the gap between the worker and management in Beverly Hills, California. A work life fully lived! What's next for this author?

5.0 out of 5 stars A very funny book related in a deadpan way, August 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Temporarily Yours (1) (Paperback)

This is a very funny book related in a deadpan way by a wacky woman who worked as a temporary secretary under tqwenty agencies. Whew! And the stories she tells are right out of Beverly Hills mythology of uproarious folks who know from nothing except how to make fortunes. A director of new product development for a computer firm thought of her as a spy. The stories are quick takes, usually less than a page. "As a temp, I gained culture while avoiding cult." quote by Perkins. This woman is hilarious. And a very good read. She also happens to have an MBA and worked as an institutional stockbroker. And she has some very good thoughts. "Allow yourself to receive what is good and remember that you deserve it." A parting shot: "One morning I woke up with my jaw frozen shut on one side." Whew! Business as she is lived.
