Temp Madness

(I am a temp working on a big project. My boss is walking me through what I need to do, and the  spreadsheet isn’t populating correctly, so he’s mumbling under his breath as well. I am sitting next to him, but behind the cubicle wall, not visible.)

Coworker: “Are you talking to yourself, [Boss]?

Boss: “No, I am talking to my temp.”

Coworker: “Does your temp have a name?”

Boss: “No, we don’t use names so we don’t get attached.”
