The Temp Life

Nick Trouble Chiapetta, an incompetent temp agency CEO returns from a self-imposed 33-week Mexican vacation to learn he's broke, unemployed and has lost his swank office space to Celltons, a cell phone button making company.

Broke and in need of a paycheck, Nick meets with Celltons touchy-feely Head of Human Relations, Stormy Simonsen in search of a job.

Nick meets his new boss: Alina Deloris, head of Human Acquisitions at Celltons and learns his new 'management position' consists of transcribing painfully awkward video resumes.

Special guest star Taryn Southernis Nancy Roder, a hamster-loving recent grad from Oklahoma who can't wait to show off her many skills and interests working as a temp at Celltons.

Nick reviews a video resume from USC grad Samir 'Stevie P.' Patel who is all about passion, football, headbands and the Blue Man Group.

Nick must transcribe a misfiled video resume from Cynthia and Pilar (special guest stars Angela Espinosa and Wendy Rosoff), owners of west coast market researcher Groupthink who have sent Alina a request for temps through Celltons' video resume channel by mistake.

Scott Richeson may have some serious problems. Being profoundly nervous and emotionally fragile is not one of them.

With Alina watching his every move, Nick vows to ditch his new broom closet office and claw his way back up the corporate ladder.

Nick's plan to ruin Alina begins when the profoundly unqualified Stevie P. arrives for his temp job interview.

Following Nick's "career advice," Stevie P. does his best to impress Alina during his temp job interview.

As part of his plan to discredit Alina, Nick gives Mark a Flip camera to secretly record Donald's attempt to get Larry, Cindy and Lianne to admit they hate their temp jobs.

Laura has a crush on Pete and Mark gets an on-the-job injury courtesy of Stevie P.

Nick overhears Mark threatening Stormy and Clark with a lawsuit over the "Stevie P. incident" and gleefully drop-kicks Alina under the bus.

Stormy tries to keep Nick and Alina from killing each other.

Everyone scrambles to impress Celltons' steely CEO, Eve Randall (special guest star Illeana Douglas) when she comes to town bearing bad news about cost-cutting.

Nick makes a last-ditch attempt to get Mark and Laura's help in getting Alina fired.

Nick drags Nancy Roder (Taryn Southern) into his plan to bring down Alina.

Someone gets fired. Someone gets hired. Someone gets...sick.
