Bright and early this morning, I had yet another interview with yet another temp agency. It went as they all do. "Keep in touch...we'll call you as soon as we have something for you."
But, afterward, I was ballsy and walked into another agency on the same floor without an appointment and asked if I could see someone. They consented, much to the rude chagrin of the receptionist. This interview went even better than the first and I met several people there over the course of my time. They made me retest on typing and all the Microsoft Arts and I did even better than I had done last time I took these tests. (I should have; even if I haven't been working, I've been taking these tests a lot.)
I even got a call from Agency #2 a couple of hours later. They have a permanent position for which I might be right. I'm torn about this. I really don't want a permanent position, but I need income so badly at this point that I'm willing to go along with the deception that I do.
And I'm really starting to get scared about having no income. I realized today that my entire self-worth is based on being able to pay my bills. And I can't right now. Where does that leave me?
I wish I knew.
