Live from The Best Temp Job Ever

[serene]

So the woman I was covering at The Best Temp Job Ever is missing a lot of work again. I was
here on Monday, could've been here yesterday (I had a job interview, so I
wasn't free), am here today, and may be called tomorrow (I'll have to miss
part of the day for another job interview).

Now I'm in a weird position. Continue to look for full-time work, or go
back to keeping myself free to do the Best Temp Job Ever? The past two
weeks, between this and the contract gigs, I've made more than
Unemployment would've been, and that in turn is about what I was making
here when I was doing a steady twenty hours a week.

What will really burn my butt is if I accept one of the full-time jobs I'm
interviewing for and then this one becomes available. But I'll drop something
else in a heartbeat to be here, so I guess that's okay.

(I have to keep in mind that if I work the temp job indefinitely, there
are NO benefits. I sure do like having benefits. I would also really
like the money that would result from working forty hours a week,
but part time with benefits would be good, too, because more time
at home is always a goodness.)
