The world continues to be lousy, but at least winter is drawing to an end.
On a self-centred level, I’m happy to finally have a paying gig for a bit. The assignment is officially for about two months, but the agency said it might get extended, and the temp I’m replacing has been there since last August and is leaving now only because she got a permanent offer from a different company closer to her home in Oakville (and in trucking logistics, which is her chosen specialty). She told me it’s a pleasant work environment and the staff are all pretty nice; adding “and I’m a real bitch, so I don’t say that about just anybody.” My first week seemed to bear this out. Also the employee kitchen has good snacks (keeping it stocked is one of my duties): fresh fruit, granola bars, yogurt cups, instant oatmeal packets—so I won’t have to pack or buy myself any breakfasts as long as I’m working there.
