I hate temping

Temping sucks for the most part. The thing I hate the most about it is the contracter treats you like the worlds biggest idiot, and I can understand why. They probably get some tools in there. You should rent "Clockwatchers" it's all about temping.
It's good for those who don't want to make a committment, but keep in mind a few things. You have the right to tell your agent that you want X amount of money per hour and you are not budging. Usually they will agree. Also, if you don't like the assignment they give you, you have the right to leave and ask for a new placement. That is what they get the big bucks for. I temped once for a company for 1 year (it was a 3 weeks assignment). They eventually hired me and I stayed for an additional 8 months after that. However, I still did the "temp" jobs and everyone thought I was their own personal secretary.
Be strong, do it for awhile until you can get situated elsewhere. If you want more advice, PM me.
