The Other Shoe Drops

[snowrabbit]

So yesterday I talked about how I was asked to stick around my current temp job until well into 2006. Today, the plot thickened. I get to work same as usual this morning and Sarah, one of my two departmental coworkers, is on the phone with a family member and on the verge of tears. Without any explanation to the rest of us (Save possibly our bosses

No have not fled like the stinking sack of underbelly that winds it's way down the sewers at night! I'm often brave, and facing live journal has only taken the strenth of fighting time...as I'm sure you understand. *nod* Time, is often fleeting, and winding as the willows in a blizzard of nuclear fecal explosion.
Anyway, I am posting more often, since my shifts at the ER changes.
Could your bosses not hire you on under the title Temp., for posterity, rather than for prosperous intent? (Prosperous for you! ;)
They seem willing to keep such a well working as you...maybe that is their way around relatives working hard.
But, you said minimum benifits...I suppose that is a heavy weight for such a keen title as temp...what a strange incestual policy they have!
Are you perhaps having luck in media? I say, I thought you were going to make movies! I would love to see them. It's hard to be moveing in a hospital. Hollywood would be keen!

Ah love...it is often a risk of a dirty face.... I and many of my friends have learned this the hard way. I am often harder to learn than others, because I take risks!
Well, my only advice is if she is true to you, and you to her, you will both make magic together! (Hopefully movie magic for you SnowAdam?!) Hopefully you are now going to a land of opportunity!!!!

I enjoy our writes! Pygmy favor you

They are willing to keep me and being a temp is as good as they can give me. I think the no-relatives rule stemmed from another coworker some time ago wanting their spouse to work in the office and that irked a lot of them. They could get rid of the rule on my behalf, but that'd mean letting in the spouse and I think in that situation it would be a conflict of interest or favoritism.

Bottom line, I grow to loathe the job more and more everyday. It's not me. I don't feel like I fit in and I feel like I'm dragging my feet. Yes, the money is good and no, I'm not having luck finding a media-related job. Those count against me and most rational people would stay with the paying job if they liked it or not. But... I constantly ask myself, "what am I missing out on while I play doctor's assistant?" Because, in the end, that's all I'm really doing: 'Playing' assistant.
