For no other reason than I'm making a very low maintenance dinner right now, I'm going to list some of the random people I encountered temping in the 90s and early 00s.

-guy in the Sealed Knot who one day brought his sword and breastplate into work so we could have swordfighting lessons at lunchtime

-guy who regarded socks as disposable and wore a brand new pair each day (in Major's economy!)

-guy who got let go for saying "motherfucking" in every sentence in the staff canteen, which he probably shouldn't have done, although the person who dobbed him in did so for primarily racist reasons (years later his band was on Groundforce)

-girl who invited me to her house for a smoke and with the benefit of three decades of wisdom I'm guessing she might have expected more from the evening?

-Poor woman who went temporarily blind on seeing a spider in the warehouse (what was called hysterical blindness but would now be termed conversion disorder, I think)

-Guy who I spent a whole week stuffing envelopes with, we had really good deep chats for four solid days but then he got in a huff because I was sceptical that Jesus literally did miracles etc

-girl who brought in copies of a porno filmed in and around Northampton (where this post is set), it had the train station, shopping centre, round the back of KwikFit, and even shots of the balloon festival, the highlight of the Northamptonian year

...just the unexpected professionalism and presence of mind to pan slowly up from the wobbling bum of the woman you're shagging up to the sky to get some b-roll of a hot air balloon shaped like Cornelius the Corn Flakes hen

Like I never used a 90s video camera but that's going to be very different exposure and focus, if it wasn't automatic, that's some impressive multitasking.
