A FWB relationship needs to be treated like you’re a temp at a temp job.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

DO… make sure the person hiring you knows they’re hiring you to be a temp.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DON’T… assume just because you’re being hired as a temp, you’ll be asked to go permanent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DON’T… take a temp job at a place you used to work full-time less than 3 months ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DO…. keep looking for a better full time gig, but don’t flaunt it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DO…. dress appropriately.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DON’T… expect special treatment on your birthday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DON’T… get too comfortable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DO…\u00a0 treat every day like it could be your last.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DON’T…\u00a0 ever leave anything there… no matter how long you think you’ll be.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DO… get the most out of it you can.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DON’T… worry about doing your best.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DON’T…. take it seriously.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DON’T… expect anyone to care if you are sick.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DON’T…\u00a0 “expect” anything.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And DO have fun.\u00a0 Cuz if you’re not having fun… why are you TEMPING!<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you’ve been temping at the same office for almost a year you are NOT a temp!\u00a0 Time to re-evaluate your situation!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I agree with almost all of these.\u00a0 With the only exception being when you find a good friend in your FWB, they do care when you’re sick lol.\u00a0 And while I do occasionally keep looking..\u00a0 it’s just for other FWB’s.\u00a0 What can I say.. I LIKE temping!<\/p>\n

Although if my fave asked me to go perm, I’d seriously consider it.\u00a0 Lucky for me he’s as poly-amorous as I!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
