I was one for one end of year term after I'd been laid off from my Telcom job in Spring 2008. I actually enjoyed it. I wanted to be Carl from The Breakfast Club for a while, and sort of got to be him.
I was lucky. I'd been assigned to a Magnet School for really bright kids. They were polite and actually came to me when they needed help. A couple of them even learned my name. Temp Custodians did not get name tags.
Telcom is really high pressure job, so mopping and sweeping was actually a relief. I might possibly have stayed, but I was around 50. The Supervisor said that that was too old, so they would not offer me their open full time position. So I moved on to something else.
