Show up. Suit up. Shut up.
That is how I approach work. I show up everyday on time, do my job and I don't screw around. I can't work any harder than I do. Technically, I can, but I'd be exhausted and worthless by lunch.
I learn my job twice as fast as the next guy and only ask half the questions. If that many. If I can't figure it out on my own, I shouldn't be doing it.
I am steady, reliable, respectful and intelligent. Basically, everything that I am not to anyone reading this.
I have been working for Spherion, a temp agency, for a little over a year now. I have been given five assignments. Two of which were intended to be temporary. The other three were "temp to hire" positions. In each of the latter three instances, I have worked my ass off. I did everything that was asked of me to the best of my ability. And you can bet your fucking ass that my best is good enough.
Tonight, for the third time, I was told that my services were no longer required at this time.
"There's just no work right now"
"This is our slow season."
"Our budget isn't allowing us to keep you on."
You name it, I've heard it.
I'm tired of hearing it. I'm tired of giving my all and ending up right back where I started. With nothing by my dick in one hand and my last paycheck in the other.
I don't kiss ass. Maybe I should. Maybe I should play the game. Make buddy-buddy with the HNIC.
But I won't. I can't. I don't have it in me. Who I am does not allow it. While I may be easy-going and all that jazz, when it comes to who and what I am, I'm as stubborn as a stubborn mule who has decided that he is going to be extra stubborn. Plus one.
I don't know what to do. I'm stuck. Like in a rut. Ironic.
I don't understand. Is it just bad timing? Bad luck? Isn't luck what you make it?
Blogging sucks. I'm done.
