Temp Hides Fun, Fulfilling Life From Rest Of Office

BOSTON-Ty Braxton, 23, continues to hide his fun and fulfilling life from the full-time employees of Hale & Dorr, the Boston law firm for which he has temped since July.



the best part is the last two 'graphs:

Though Braxton said he sympathizes with his coworkers, he added that the decision to pursue a prestigious, high-paying career path was entirely their own.

"They wanted to go for the brass ring and really live the good life," Braxton said. "What they don't seem to get is that the key to living the good life is to avoid that brass ring like the fucking plague."



current mood: love to live by my own deadlines
current noise: "brianstorm" by arctic monkeys

    Yeah, but to be honest the guy majored in Russian Lit.

    What the heck else is he going to do with that major?

    However, he's pretty much living the dream of every Gen X'er out there and honestly it doesn't sound that bad.

    He's inspired me to quit my current job and become a temp.
