It’s been a while since last I posted.  This may make it seem like I’ve become complacent in my temp position.  I mean, originally it was something I thought I’d be lucky to have more than a week.  It’s almost been 3 months. 

However, throughout that time, it was a daily worry if I’d hear the phrase “see you tomorrow”.   I’d continually call to confirm with the rotating staff at the temp agency that my status was still “indefinite”.  I have not let a week pass without sending out at least five resumes and cover letters. 

            What’s been absent for a few weeks, the real zinger, is meeting interviewees.  For the position I am temping in.  Yesterday I met one, she had flown in from Arkansas for the spot.  My superior admitted it when I asked, and even said this person was liked.  I didn’t know who she was until I asked after she left, but I had known it was a possibility.  Nevertheless, I was stunned into opening up three job search sites to look through for the rest of the afternoon.

            The one double-sided good/bad thing about this is my superior could give me an actual time estimate of how long it would take to actually hire this individual if this was the person they chose.  I’ve got about a month.  But considering I’ve been on a daily worry watch, that possibility of a month is more than I’ve thought I’d have.
