"paciencia" is temporary job???

Estaba hablando con un viejo hoy y me preguntó si yo hacía un "paciencia" o "trabaja temporal".

Pero, en el diccionario se dice que paciencia es "patience".

Gracias,

Tim

Se dice "un anciano" o "un señor grande," pero "un viejo" suena feo en lo que le fala respeto al señor - 005faa61, Nov 16, 2012

What he told you was if you were doing a "PASANTIA". A "pasantia" is when a company takes you for some time, and you are a student and need experience/get to know the job. I don't really know the word, I think is "internship"

It's a pretty common word in Argentina.

Suplente? Locum. It depends what you're doing, you may have to tell us more.
