Lots of new bodies were added today. We were told yesterday, in response to questions about when we could expect to be fired, that the original timeline was late fall (December? late November? who knows?), but that the people were being added because the timeline was now much shorter. The law firm is still keeping the agency in the dark, so it could be a week, two weeks or sometime in October. Someone knows, but they aren't telling us. Obviously, this is not good news for the swordfish.
On a related note, a bunch of people got added to the project today and promptly tried to fuck things up. Some of the new folks were seated in our room, and some were seated elsewhere. Two guys came in with one of the agency's project managers to scout out seats, looked around and asked if there was another room they could look at.
Sorry, couldn't help myself. As they were walking out, I said, "They won't have mints on the pillow, either."
And I'm pretty sure they could still hear me when I said, "We're not auditioning. Don't come back."
They didn't come back, and some folks in the room who knew them thanked me. Being anti-social, at least among temps, can have its advantages.
