Then in the quarterly Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide head honchos meeting I was brought up and it was decided I should be offered a three month contract. Well shucks, didn�t I just get all warm and cuddly inside.

The problem however was that I had this current job I�m at and another week of it in the middle of June that I�d already committed to. No problem they said! It�s that lovely to have a nice, understanding company to work for.

The lady who I was temping for was on maternity leave but they didn�t think she was coming back so they were recruiting for permanent. I said from the get-go that I didn�t want permanent (the pay would be a pay cut of $18K from the last job I had) but that temp suits me fine � the pay is considerably better...especially when I take a half hour for lunch and then incur overtime for the week :oP Apparently the lady wants to come back �in about three months�. So the boss said I was guaranteed three months with them...but should she decide to not come back for four or even five months to check with them before I took any further jobs elsewhere.

Totally fine by me. It will help my savings plan out brilliantly to have a steady pay into the bank account and not weeks of maybe-kinda-crap-sorta-alright pay and possible weeks of no work at all.

So yay, gainfully employed until some time in August :o)
