Well, I did it.

I quit The Best Temp Job Ever. (It hasn't really been The Best for quite some time, and when I get guilt over not being more loyal to them, I only have to think of the four jobs I applied for in the department and didn't get -- including the one I've been temping for this past month -- and I get over it quicklike.)

I need to look after my health and my energy levels lately, and having three jobs isn't conducive to that, even if all three jobs are part-time. The two remaining jobs have in their favor, as well, that they can be done in the comfort of my own beloved home.

Tomorrow, I finish this manuscript and start on the next one. I'm relieved and happy. I could have used the money, but the stress and fatigue are not worth it.

No guilt

If they wanted loyalty, they should have offered it: in the form of a permanent position with benefits. No matter how good a temp job is, the employer is explicitly offering you neither loyalty nor permanence.
