Not idea

2019-07-20 21:14:54 UTC  

yeah i hate temp jobs

2019-07-20 21:15:05 UTC  

but this one was in the exact place i wanted to live

2019-07-20 21:15:10 UTC  

I didnt know the job you got that got the rug pulled under you was a temp, if I had known that I would have warned you

2019-07-20 21:15:17 UTC  

and i can keep looking for a real permenent job while i do this one

2019-07-20 21:15:24 UTC  

especially when they go through HR firms

2019-07-20 21:15:26 UTC  

and also build contacts for private IT work

2019-07-20 21:15:32 UTC  

its a step above MLM

2019-07-20 21:15:40 UTC  

yeah i knew the risks

2019-07-20 21:15:43 UTC  

but was desperate to move

2019-07-20 21:15:56 UTC  

what MLM is to entry positions, temp is to intermediate or senior

2019-07-20 21:16:05 UTC  

they literally called on late friday afternoon while i was moving boxes into the house

2019-07-20 21:16:09 UTC  

they squeeze all the work out of you and can you after 3

2019-07-20 21:16:09 UTC  

and the job started monday

2019-07-20 21:16:26 UTC  

so since i went 2 weeks without working or getting paid i had to drain my savings account

2019-07-20 21:16:38 UTC  

so the first couple of paychecks after bills are going to replenish that

2019-07-20 21:16:55 UTC  

this was actually a temp job that found me

2019-07-20 21:17:08 UTC  

Im fortunate that Im so cheap that I could live 18 months on my Emergency Fund rn

2019-07-20 21:17:21 UTC  

I’m a photographer

2019-07-20 21:17:31 UTC  

Thinking about getting a real job tho

2019-07-20 21:17:37 UTC  

i still own my RV so that is the escape plan

2019-07-20 21:17:51 UTC  

because the rent here is 1300 plus utilities

2019-07-20 21:17:58 UTC  

gig economy is a real shit

2019-07-20 21:18:12 UTC  

Bad?

2019-07-20 21:18:20 UTC  

yuck, Im fortunate that I live downtown for less than a grand

2019-07-20 21:18:23 UTC  

yes

2019-07-20 21:18:34 UTC  

I’m doing okay

2019-07-20 21:18:42 UTC  

I book a year out

2019-07-20 21:19:09 UTC  

thats good

2019-07-20 21:19:13 UTC  

at least you got work

2019-07-20 21:19:20 UTC  

in kansas i was living on less than 500 a month for the condo

2019-07-20 21:19:28 UTC  

but kansas sucks dick

2019-07-20 21:19:44 UTC  

I prolly could live like that in wisco if I bit the bullet and bought a condo, but I dont want to be tied down here

2019-07-20 21:20:00 UTC  

i did the math and i'll be clearing almost 4000 a month after taxes and shit

2019-07-20 21:20:13 UTC  

so i'll be saving every penny assuming i'll get fucked eventually

2019-07-20 21:20:27 UTC  

at least if i work for a few months i'll be able to apply for unemployment in texas

2019-07-20 21:20:34 UTC  

more than me\

2019-07-20 21:21:37 UTC  

last time i was on unemployment i got 435 a week iirc

2019-07-20 21:22:28 UTC  

The winning move is to live on as little as possible whilst stack

2019-07-20 21:23:14 UTC  

living in the RV wouldn't work in kansas since it got cold and i'm not sure my "arctic package" would save the plumbing system
