Well, I am off to look for jobs, again!
The hiring manager at Chez Zee was not completely forthcoming about the job she hired me for, so now it is not even suitable as a disposable job. I was led to believe that it would be full time, which it is not. The other big issue is a work condition that I was not informed of and that I consider very hazardous. This hazard was sun exposure. They made me stand outside during the peak UV hours of 11am - 2pm! Not only was it unbearably hot in my "business casual" clothing, but I got a very slight sunburn despite applying physical block sunscreen twice. I take this seriously and it is not just because I am vain and want to avoid wrinkles - I am in a high risk group.
You can find out if you are at risk by checking these sites out.
This is a quiz on the American Academy of Dermatology's website -
