Actually, there are talks about making me permanent. The VP just needs to
understand the need for another staff member and then approve the new
position. It has nothing to do with my ability, it's purely a budgetary
issue.

Believe me, I make sure they "remember" my situation whenever they ask me to
send them a file or get them a copy on those days when I am dislocated. ;-)

On a positive note, I have Office Pro XP on the laptop and only Word and
Excel 2000 on my work system. I prefer the newer versions. :-)

Understand all that you said, but the problem remains:
How are you going to cope with an unfortunate situation
where you're relegated to a back corner with no phone or
printer access? You either (1) tolerate it for the duration of
the temp job, or (2) do something positive to change the
situation. Talk to Management. Explain how having a real
desk, phone, and printer access can make you even more
productive.

(1) No locker

(2) I'm still a temp. They should be glad that I'm willing to use my own
equipment and not charge them for its use.

(3) I don't need an extra printer for my personal use and I am not
forking over my money for the equipment and consumables for their use.

I know that sounds odd but I'm not getting big bucks. Even if I had my
own printer, I would still have to pay for the ink and I'm not going to
pay for supplies to do my job.

Perhaps I'm not fully understanding the odd situation but if you
miss printer access so much, why not buy a nice little printer for
your own use? You can buy a cheap Lexmark printer at Wal-Mart
for $39.99 or a faster, better quality HP or Canon printer for $80.
You can store the printer in the bottom of your locker when not in
use.

I rarely get calls at work so that part isn't a big issue. It's the no
printer access which really gets to me.

I share a computer with someone at work myself. It's not the computer
that
I
mind sharing, it's that when she comes into work, I have to move all
of my
stuff into a small breakroom with a small table. If it wasn't that I
use
my
own craptop (which I volunteered to use) I'd have no computer. I have
no
network access, no printer access, and no phone. May I use your
advice so
I
can stop moving my stuff for two days a week?

How is that done?
