Oh, by the way -

The big boss man at my temp job offered me a permanent position. The only thing is that I'd need to quit my first job to even consider taking it. He wants me to be available for Monday's as well as the rest of the week (Monday through Friday, weekends off). I took an application, but I haven't filled it out yet. I have so many questions for him before I even begin thinking about getting hired on there.

  • Do I get any more money? (I can't live on 8.25/hour.)
  • Do I have guaranteed hours? (I'd need to know if I could live on the pay rate + a guaranteed schedule.)
  • Are there any special benefits to working for your company vs. the temp service? (Raises, higher positions, etc.)
With my #1 job, I have a guaranteed set of days (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) and a guaranteed pay rate (9.85/hour 3pm-7pm + 55.80 7pm- 7am). I can just make it by with bills and have a bit (usually about $80) for groceries. That's why I took the temp service job offers, ya know? I need grocery money and gas money and various things money! lol on that last one! So I'd need to be making more money that my #1 job to consider taking a permanent place with the #2 job.

I honestly am being selfish though. With #1 job, I get 4 days off. #2 job, I only get 2 days off. Granted, those 2 days are Saturday and Sunday, but who cares? I don't miss my weekends. I haven't had a weekend off in over 2.5 years and it never mattered before really. #2 has more people, so if I was sick, I don't have to explain much of anything to call off. #1, I need to explain my pants off before I get someone to work for me - and I have to do it.  #2 would call in someone else for me. #1 is constant, #2 is in the air. #1 I know well, #2 I know "ish". #1 is easy money, #2 is hard work. #1 is close (less gas money), #2 is further away(more gas money).

Without the other questions answered, #1 is my choice based on ease and safety. Plus, I never have had a problem with this job subtracting the woman. I don't know.
