& About That Temp-Permanent Job

The more I thought about it, the more unappealing it becomes. CK works me like a horse. My back hurts, I get shooting pains up my spine, my wrists are weaker, my neck is forever sore and the list goes on. If I even could make it money-wise with that job, I'd be out of commission within a few years. Besides, I can't find time to see a doctor unless I sacrifice sleep, and even if I did that, I'd be in the same position within a few months.

Besides, they only raise the pay to $1 more an hour. $9.25 is nice, but is not guaranteed  for 40 hours and isn't enough anyway after taxes and benefits are taken out. The hours are better than my CPH job, but the days are better at CPH vs. CK. So, it's another loss for CK. Plus they are further away which equals more gas money I need to take out of the paycheck.

On a personal/selfish issue, CK makes everyone wear white tee shirts and 5/7 days wearing white is so gross to me. I like me some color! And my hair has never been so flat as it has been lately from the hairnets. I don't know why, maybe the hairnets trap moisture from the sweat and it gets in my hair, but it definitely doesn't feel as healthy and pretty as it used to be.

Back to actual issues, CK doesn't listen to their employees when it comes to temperature. There was a day a few weeks ago where I was so hot, I thought I was going to pass out! And they never turned on the air! And I wasn't the only one complaining about it. And then, lately, it's been so damn cold that it's hard to concentrate on work and picking up cookies.

So actually, the offer was nice, and it feels good to be offered a job after working there only 3 months, but the answer is no. There are too many uncontrollable factors that make it an unfavorable place for me to work at for an extended period of time.

I can't wait to be able to quit CK and the temp agency for good.
