Thanks to all for the encouragement. The job is turning out to be hectic and stressful, but I made it through three days. They hired two other temps for the same job description, and I was right about the sharp elbows and backbiting. I hate that stuff--just want to do my job, and my first impulse is to help others, but that will get you voted off the island in this kind of situation.

Anyway, I'll try tosuck it up and hang in there. Won't have time to keep up here much, but I'll try to check in when I can.

Thanks again for your words of support.
