Several years back, for personal and private reasons, I resigned from a job. Never looked back. Only looked forward. Finding permanent employment proved to be difficult. Our country was experiencing an economic crisis and many companies were people off. The unemployment rate was rising and even people with university degrees were having a hard time finding a job. So I signed up at a temp employment agency.
Ever worked as a temp? Temping is an excellent way to maintain cash flow while you’re looking for permanent employment. The goal is usually to start as a temp and then end up becoming permanent. But there are some who actually prefer working temp jobs, instead of being on the payroll of one specific company. There are advantages and disadvantages.
Main plus (advantage) for permanent which is the minus (disadvantage) for temporary employment is benefits , i.e. a retirement plan and health and life insurance.
That being said: it’s either / or for me. Either a permanent job or temporary position, as long as there’s a steady paycheck in it!
I have worked a wide range of temp jobs but there were two positions that I really liked for two reasons – nice people and free food!! 🙂 The work in both companies was just crunching numbers. Nothing exciting about that. But the people at both Ercot (Electric Reliability Council of Texas) and the City of Austin Public Works Department were fantastic to work with! That by itself made the temp assignments pleasurable but when they treated me to lunch … on top of that … like as if I were one of them … ??? Written into my diary as “Best temp jobs ever!!” 🙂
I consider this blog post as an inconsequential diary entry of no real import to anybody except me. The real reason I wrote it is because I wanted to share this adorable cartoon found at glitter-graphics.com. Figured it might make the reader laugh. 😀
This is my typical work week. How about you? 🙂

In our country, permanent employees have more benefits than temporary ones.I love the cartoons;it's always hating Mondays, and then so excited about Fridays and Saturdays! I once
That's the thing about being a temp. No benefits like retirement and insurance. However, in America, there was one temp agency, IF you had temped for them long enough, they actually gave you benefits. After all, technically you were a good employee for their company. I only know of one temp company like that. It may not be the "norm".
