I'm on the 3rd day of a 6 week temp secretary booking and I hate it! I share the office with 4 others, who talk amongst themselves all day long in their own language and being English, I obviously don't understand. Also, I have to keep asking them to borrow their I.D. swipe badges to enable access to the toilet and kitchen, until my badge "gets sorted out". I don't want to stay here, but worry the agency may turn nasty. What do I do?

Ring the agency up and tell them that you are suited to working their, and that you want somewhere else.
I am sure they will have somewhere else for you, as they have tons of placements there agencys do. I been doing temp jobs for two years now, I have been put in some right dumps!! So I rang the agency up and told them that I am used to working in a nicer environment than the current one.
They sorted me out in no time, if you are a good worker, they should do the same!
Life is too short to be sad.
Good luck!

if you're not happy there, you are more to welcome to give the agency a call and to make the switch. However, there is a warning. If it is your first job from that agency, they might not send you on another job. So, I hope it isn't your first job from that agency. I am a temp myself and I couldn't complain about my very first job from Spherion staffing. They sent me to a wherehouse environment (which I wasn't happy there), but I finished the job anyway because money is tight. If I did call my contact person from Spherion staffing, she probably thought of me as a compaliner because she never sent me on any assignment yet. I am still waiting. So, it is best to tough it out and hoping that it is a short term contract. It will be over before you know it.

a short-time period interest (in Britain, a minimum of) is a interest for a constrained era oif time, say for only 3 weeks, or in the course of the college vacation trips (vacation). I have a premanent area-time interest for variety of 8 hours per week, when you consider that I have retired from my major interest. i'd describe mine as an everlasting interest with variable hours, when you consider that I artwork as needed.

it'l get easier - temp jobs are always tough.
As for them speaking in their own language - maybe have a word with the HR officer about this.
