These temp agencies are driving me crazy. I feel like they are really jerking me around. The big reason I am paying double rent this month is because I thought I would be able to get enough temp gigs to justify it. Right now, is "slow". I mean, isn't this the time of year to call in sick to shop or loaf or actually be sick?
On one hand, it's nice to have so much down time to do my reading in jammies, on the other, money is pretty nice too.
Today just pissed me off. I was supposed to have 8 hours of transcription. But when I was 2 stops away from my assignment, I get a call from my agency, saying that they didn't have work for me. Yet. Conveniently, I was on the Brown line, so I just circled home. Then at 11.30, I get a call asking me to come back in and stay late. I am trying to be accommodating, so I jump on the train again. This time they had work, except that it was one 10 minute tape, which took me about an hour. And they MIGHT have work to do tomorrow. Meanwhile, I had to turn down another gig.
All I want is someone to go out with and get a beer. Instead, I will be camped out on the couch, reading and eating black beans and rice.
