About this video
Amy has found herself in another receptionist contract when she had vowed
never to do it again. She smiles politely, makes the perfect cup of coffee
and has a delightful phone manner. Her life is a rut of emails, mundane
tasks and ridiculous colleagues. Until an office birthday cake leads her
to question her routine and ponder the relevance of ergonomics in the
workplace. Is this the beginning of her freedom or her decent into
corporate oblivion? Created on the clock behind the reception desk in the
tone of Bridget Jones meets The Office, 'Temporary' finds humour in the
daily grind.
