Oh my.
I think the shouting-and-screaming primitive needs tossed off of Skins's island, being so disrespectful of the bitter old Vermontese cali primitive like that. She may be bitter and all that, but Skins's island would be rather boring if she weren't there.
<<<<doesn't take kindly to primitives critical of cali; that's franksolich's prerogative.
Seen both sides of the Temp jobs BTDT. It is up to the employee to decide if they wish to stay at a job with hope of being hired on full time.
For the last 8 years before I retired my Company, a great one, decided to go 10 hours a day, 4 days a week , sounded good to us until it became mandatory to work 5-6 days a week. No time to have a personal life, a doctors appointment, or do more then eat sleep and go to work. Most of us lived eating sandwitches.
Oh but the pay checks for over time came in and some of the Temps that could not speak English were making $40,000 a year, bought homes and nice cars. The good workers to be hired on permanently had just one problem. The Piss test they could or could not pass.
In America if one wants a nice home, a new car then one has to bust their butts to get it. Don't matter if one has 3 jobs if you want something you must work for it.
This DU poster has no idea of the satisfaction of work and how much a job means to self worth. When asked Who Are You , the job comes to mind, I am a Laborer, a Electrician, a Nurse or Doctor. Then a family man or woman with children comes next.
For us retired people it gets odd, no place to go and no work that has made up so much of our lives. It is the work that we miss most as this has been Our defining measure of who we are.
