Temping: An Update

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make a blanket statement:

Although somewhat flattering, it's never a good thing when you go in to an intervew with your potential new bosses, and before you can even make yourself comfortable, they look at your resume and say "Um, you know you're incredibly overqualified for this, right?"

GEEZ! Thanks, but wouldn't it be nice if other people thought so, too?

So no, call me a snob, but I think I'll pass on the secluded-office-secretary-in-a-cubicle-for-no-pay-and-even-less-human-interaction biznass this time.
...especially because it turns out that benefits and retirement plans don't begin until you've been there for a year.

At what point, dear friends, do you take a filler job to wait for your dream job to pan out? I mean, it may not be optimal to manage global calendars at a law office for the next ten years, but what if I were to take such a job in the hopes of saving up for rent while I look for the real deal? Hmmm? What about if it offers full benefits and 401k? Working retail isn't exactly offering THAT, or paid vacay.

Come on, career, happen already... Or I might just do somethin' craaaaazy!
