kind of a pity party...

I'm not sure if the indulgence of 2 strawberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, topped with pink sugar (leftover from my niece's birthday) is helping or making the pity party worse.

The other temp who started the same day as me, with the same job as me, got hired permanent last week. But not me. So that feels crappy.

I guess I didn't really expect to still have this job after the baby's born, but I had some hope before this. But then, considering the cost of 2 in daycare, I'd actually bring home more if I were working only in the mornings, when Rodgers is home, than working full time at this job and paying for daycare for both kids. So maybe it's a good thing.

But I'm stressed now because I'm going to have to find a part time temp job in November. I don't even see job postings for part time work around here. I would think that with the job market sucking so much still employers would love to only have to pay people for half days...

Re: kind of a pity party...

  • Ugh I'm sorry. Everything will work out in the end. Just keep your head up. And just to let you know I am very jealous of your cupcakes.

  • That really stinks! I hope you find something great just in the mornings! That would be a win win! Keeping my fingers crossed for you that something perfect pops up!

  • Rachel, I'm so sorry and trust me I understand about temping it's hard because you go in everyday and just have to hope that what you're doing is not just good, but you have to go above and beyond for every single thing you do.

    I hope they give you a perm position soon, and PT mornings would be even better.

  • I had the same thing happen to me at one of my jobs.  Actually, I think the person who was given a perm position before me was hired just AFTER me.  The good news is that, after a month of me sweating it out, I did get hired permanently.  You know what, now that I think about it the same thing happened with my current job, too!  So, don't completely give up hope because there is still a chance you'll get the perm position.
