I can't remember the exact name of the temp agency. It was something similar, or maybe exactly like, "Five Star Temp Agency." I do remember it was a cheesy play on a words of a cliche of the film industry. Like "A-list Laundromat," or the bar, "Extras." L.A. was full of such unoriginal monikers.

I know it was in Beverly Hills.  I know I registered with them. Was sent out on some jobs, one of which was at Saban Entertainment. The first thing I had in common with anyone I met at Saban was that we had all been sent by the same temp agency. 

One such person was Tim Connolly. Tim was a rare breed of L.A. denziens for the simple fact that he made his way to L.A. because he was influenced by some of the great pulp fiction about the City and for the weather. (L.A. has the best pulp fiction). 

In this short episode I introduce Tim, we rap a little, I'll have him back. Even though he was in a special warfare unit, worked construction, and has been a crane operator, he has a wit like Dorothy Parker. Fun conversation.
