How did Charlie pay her rent if she was just a temp?


That was a ridiculous loophole.

Considering she had a bunch of jobs I don't see why not, my husband was a temp for a while and brought home over $1500 a month that way.

Dog walking pays quite a bit, a friend of mine does dog sitting and walking for extra cash.

Even though you're a temp, you can work everyday. Your agency just puts you on a new assignment once your old one finishes.

She was a temp, but worked more than one job, walking dogs, working parties for the caterer, etc. And had roommates. JLo was a little too old for the role really...Should have been someone in their early 20's to still be so nsettled in life. But I was able to suspend disbelief because it was mindlessly funny.

I guess it's like looking at clouds. You see one thing and I see another. Peace.

I know of people in their 40s who are temps; you can be any age and temp. But if I could think of someone younger to play this role, I'd choose Scarlett Johansson because she's great with comedy, as evidenced in The Nanny Diaries!

She works at what she likes. Her parents are deceased and we don't know how much their estate was worth.

We don't know her rent either.

Immaturity at its finest.

while she could just about earn enough doing so many temping jobs, it's pretty unstable and not worth the stress and hassle
