At square one again
I thought working fast and with good quality is what companies wanted but I am back at square one again. Just great, how am I supposed to go back to college if I can’t keep working. Today my temp company called me to find out how things where going, they asked me if I was scheduled to return next week to my assignment. I said Yes at the time because no one talked to me about not returning next week.
Well I went to talk to one of the supervisors on my job site make sure I was coming back next week. She told me no we are to far ahead and would only have one person coming in. I am a little annoyed, I work hard and complete more then the other person does with no problem. I am a hard worker! I don’t mess around to often and I take maybe 15 minute break through out the day, just when I need them. So I work 7 or 8 hours every day and only take 15 minutes at a maximum. This is my chose not to take a half hour lunch break or two ten minute breaks, I don’t really need it for the type of work I am doing.
I was told all last week and this week slow down, I did slow down a lot. I even decided to cut my work hours down to 30 to 32 hours a week in hopes this would keep me working.
I get in on time, I am not late, and if I was I don’t think they realize it unless I came in after 8am, which I come in usually around 7am.
I work for a temp company, who placed me at this assignment. The assignment doesn’t use any of my skills, and it well frankly honestly not something I wanted to do, but I did it to help out my company. Even though I dislike what I was doing I worked with the same level of enthusiasms as if it was a job I loved.
After I found out they chose the other person over me. I felt a little annoyed because I feel my work is better then theirs because I actually work and normally get more done. I know sounds unkind. I texted my husband during one of my small breaks and told him I needed a personality transplant or something. To be honest when I am in a temp assignment, I don’t really want to make friends or try to make connections with people. Why go through the time of making friends when you might not be there for more then a month or two. So Monday they had a potlock thing, I went up but didn’t really engage into anyone. I am slightly shy, and didn’t know anyone there and the people I knew I didn’t have enough in common with them.
I know, I was told that if they needed more help I would be called in. I would like to know how am I to go back to college, and pay bills if I am not working consistently. I told my supervisor today that I was willing to in that position because at least I can pay for college and my other bills, and then get back into college. It seems like every time I get to a point where I can move ahead suddenly it like, I have to take several steps back. I have been looking for work but jobs aren’t exactly the easiest thing to come by right now.
I am not a sales person I know this already, I have tried a few times. To bad finding the right job isn’t like finding the right electronics. Once you know what you enjoy you can pick it out and buy it then it yours. Jobs are a little different, you can pick a job but you know you have to sell yourself to them. They have to pick you along with them being picked.
