I haven't really had too much to say lately, partly because nothing that exciting has happened, partly because I've been too depressed to really care.  Last week I started a temp job at an insurance agency that was supposed to be a long term job, and I hated it but figured I'd stick it out through Christmas and earn enough money to pay my rent for ( Read more... )

I have a theory about (some) temp jobs: that they frquently involve a permanent employee who is so obnoxious that the company has trouble finding anyone to work with them. But rather than do the obvious and get rid of the dickweed employee, they bring in a series of temps who are one by one summarily dismissed because they don't meet obnoxious one's standards (and no one ever will). It sounds like you may have encountered a variant of this.

Good luck. Not all of them are like this.

Thank you for the support. The receptionist at the company that booted me said that no one liked working for the woman I reported to, and that most people quit after a week. I was just shocked though, that she was just so RUDE about it.

Thank you! It'll pass, as it always does, and life will balance again. I'll just need to drink heavier until it does!

PS--I still need your email for my birthday party invitation!

Ugh, your reaction from the temp company is appalling. What were you supposed to do, come in and infect everybody? I hope the agency is good on their word and finds you something better soon.

Holidays can be very stressful. I hope you get through them as well as possible.

I think the agency was more shocked than I was, so they'll find me something pretty kick-ass if they have it. I should have infected everyone, though, but I worry about the karma.

Thanks for the holiday wishes. Much scotch will be consumed, but I should get through without bloodshed.
