To Be, Or Not To Be...A Temp

So you finally got a job! Sort of. 

This is it. You're first 9-5 job ever. You are an adult now. It is time to start acting like one.

Tips for acting like an adult:

• Wake up early
• 6:30am should be good
• Make yourself breakfast
• Time to start eating all those boxes of oatmeal you've accumulated 
• If you bought them, maybe you would be more than just a "only coffee in the morning" person
• Take a shower/put on your makeup
• Gotta look good now that you have a job where people care what you look like
• Pack yourself a lunch
• Let's face it, you are still to poor to go out every afternoon
• Put on your business attire!!
• Remind yourself to go buy business attire
• Get yo' ass out into that beautiful 9-5 world and be fabulous!
• After 8 hours, come home and wait for someone else to need you...

The life of a temp is stressful. You never know when you are going to get your next employment opportunity. Or, if you're lucky like I am, you're first temp job will be a long one.

BUT, if you are like everyone else, than you will have 1-2 day jobs most of the time. 

PROS

• $11-$15/hr
• Lunch break
• Bathroom whenever you want
• Most likely, you will be doing office work 
• Sitting on your butt all day

CONS

• You can't get into a routine
• Always going somewhere new
• Weeks of no work
• Small paychecks

But, so far, this month long gig is helping me pay my rent and that is all that matters. Any financial issue after this job is over is future me's problem.
