Apparently so. I'll be starting another temp gig in Redwood City come Monday. The money is good (I almost typo-ed that as "god," which may not be wholly inaccurate), my cohorts-to-be seem nice and not overly ill-dressed, and they've actually been honest with me about my temp status.

My friend Marlyna is getting married and asked me to be in her wedding. As she is a dear friend, not to mention the person who turned me on to the joys of waxing and the Macy's shoe department, I gladly accepted.
