- Asked on Facebook whether my friend, who I met through this job two years ago and worked with again last year, will be there this year. He said he wasn't because he found other work. That's too bad -- not just because I will miss his friendship and familiarity, but also because he predated me at that place by a year, and he knows things about this job that I don't. I now will have to learn those things. Plus I'll have to work with, and probably help break in, some other person whom I'll work beside. What if that person is a pill? What if I hate this person?
- I asked my contact at the temp agency if my duties there are the same as the previous two years, just to be sure. She said it was. But I have always had a nagging suspicion that there are fewer and fewer things that I have had to help these guys with. I mean, I love the down time there, but I have received indications that my bosses know that we have had a lot of down time. Whether or not they're OK with me/us working "on call," as it were, is something I always worry about. In the meantime, with Donald Trump fucking things over (intentionally) with Obamacare, I have a feeling there will be a lot of people being hired to field phone calls from worried and pissed-off people. That's kind of why I asked if I will be doing the same thing as last year: Will they ask me to do call center shit instead? If not, well ... I'll have to walk out of there and never come back.
