Same people, different place: Part Two

The Lad
This familiar temping character is impossible to ignore; he flaunts his disdain for the job at every opportunity, and so rarely lasts beyond the first three weeks. The Lad in any of his various incarnations can be recognised by the stock anecdotes which his conversation consists of. These will invariably fall into the categories of: Drunken Banter, Drunken Exploits, Drunken Misadventures, and Drunken Sex. This sequence will be repeated ad nauseam. NB: The recurring motif of 'Drunkenness' may well be specific to The Scottish Lad - further research is required before this point can be settled definitively. It is also important to recognise that The Lad's conversation may seem initially to encompass a broader cultural spectrum, due to his liberal references to film and television. However, do not take this initial impression at face value, as further investigation always exposes the fact that these references do not signify any sort of individual opinion or critique but are merely meaningless reiterations of the relevant catchphrases from said televisual works.

The Bitch
The Bitch is characterised by a seemingly obsessive desire to recreate the conditions and experiences of high school. She pursues this aim with a single-minded persistance, and any attempts to thwart her will meet with a blind fury. She is all the more dangerous as her determination to create exclusive cliques among the temps is such that she will not recognise boundaries, and often strikes out at either the temp agency or the company she is working for. For this reason, her reign is usually volatile. While it can be tempting to attempt to side with The Bitch and so avoid the sniggers and frosty silences which characterise her enmity, the consequences of this can be unpleasant. A bitterness and anger lie at the heart of all The Bitch's endeavours and these emotions are both difficult to feign and painful to experience.
