  • Everybody Outranks the Temp

    They say school prepares students before they enter the adult working world, but I’m not so sure if my school did a good job any more. I really, really don’t get it. Like, really. At work, somebody would actually call me on the phone so I’d have to spend 10 seconds to walk over to…
