Work worrying
Friday: My regular shift got cancelled because the office had been dead all day and they weren't expecting any work. This means I'll be out 100-ish dollars from my check (because I'm a temp and only get paid when I'm there), but worse, am concerned this is the beginning of the end at a job that's been a fairly steady source of income for over three years now. They moved a lot of the operations to Florida, but they still can't quite function without some people in the NY office. They tried to get rid of third shift before, but lawyers threw a fit that there was no one in our department overnight, so they brought us back. Am paranoid they're going to decide we're not needed after all.
Saturday: Got called for a short shift at a firm I've never worked at before. Hurray!
Sunday: Got called for a full shift at same place. More than makes up for missed hours at regular job.
Monday: Got called by place I worked over weekend. They like me and want me to do a second shift. But I have stuff I need to do at home and can't quite face a full shift at one place followed by a full shift at my regular place. If it weren't for my third shift commitment, I would absolutely take this job.
And now I'm obsessed that I'll get cancelled for my regular job again tonight, which ticks me off because if I knew I didn't have to go in tonight, I wouldn't have said no to the new place.
