temp-to-hire
so yesterday i go to HR to pick up my paycheck. then they tell me to wait cuz they need to talk to me about something. every other time ive been pulled into that office, theres always something wrong, but never bad.. like, for instance: one day i was playing sublime at a normal volume. the song was daterape i believe. this one christian chick complains that the song is too much that that it was hurting her spirit and whatnot. (she doesnt work here anymore (she was a temp also, and they just let her and some other person go one friday, almost out of nowhere)). anyways, so she complained, and they made me go up to hr and the had a chat with me. the cool thing was that they weren't at all angry or anything...they just wanted to tell me face to face that there was nothing wrong or rule-breaking about me singing and listening to music in my cube. that was fuckin awesome.
but anyways, i digress.....so they pull me into the room, and they ask me how i liked my job
yikes....cuz i really like it, but it doesnt look like good news is comming. seriously though, ive gotten my piercings and tatts while working here, streched my ears and all, and they dont trip.
but then they said to me, "we got some bad news. the last day of your assignment with ultimate staffing is on friday the 11th." i was freaking out because im a temp, and so they could just let you go at any time. and on top of that, i streched my ears out to 1/2s beacuse they dont have a rule against that here (and everywhere else i have worked would have never let me do that), so that would make it a little harder for me to find another job
then she goes, "thats becase (name of my employer) is hiring you on as a permanant employee. that means benifits, 401k, the works....as well as a 75 cent raise. <chash registar sound>
but yeah, so now I'm making a nice wage and dont have to worry about being fired just beacuse the staffing agency didnt need me anymore. hell yeah.
hmmmm.....but yeah, im gonna get back to work before they realize i spend a couple of hours a day on here, lol. peace 5 comments from 5 users

Sweet! I remember my days as an office whore. I was temped out around here for 2 years before I became a permanent. I kind of liked temping though, just when I was sick of where I was at I'd be assigned else where and have a change of pace. But benefits, retirement, and more money is always a major plus!
