Yeah, it's another temp conversation

The hours cut led to a lot of interesting conversations today. Because the window to get 8 hours is only 9 hours, and you are required to take a half-hour break (even if you don't) there isn't much margin for being somewhere other than at work during the window. This morning, several people came in well beyond the point at which they could still conceivably reach 40 hours for the week. Naturally, they received a bunch of ragging about being "part-time."  This conversation resulted when one person came in at 11 am -- pretty much ruling out even reach 40 hours:

Temp 1: We figured you were so disgusted you quit.
Temp 2: If disgust was enough to make me quit, I'd have been gone long ago.

I think that sentiment applies to pretty much everyone on the project.
