I've got a job!!

It's only a temp job, but it's for 3 months ('til the end of October) at the state insurance office right near me, about 15 minutes from my house. Good pay, regular hours. So I won't have to worry about my rent or bills for a while. Yay!

Also, no more commuting for 2 hours each day, spending tons on gas and driving in the LA heat. AND no more bullshit like what happened the last day at my last temp assignment. Clash with an incredibly uppity little snotnose who took it on herself to start yelling at me in front of the whole office. I couldn't believe the rudeness of that little bitch. Missy Princess of the place - according to the manager (who's heartily sick of her), the only reason she's been there for so long is that the boss has a crush on her.

Of course, she chose a weekend when both the boss and the manager were out of town to pull this crap. I'm thinking about calling Gloria (manager lady) this weekend and letting her know exactly what happened, 'cause uh, NO. At least I can say with great pride that I did not get up and leave as was my first instinct. I've never left an assignment in the middle of the day like that, and I wasn't about to start then. But I did corner Missy Thing and rake her over the coals for her bitchy behavior.

What I really couldn't believe was when she started accusing me of slagging off on the job. Oh, bitch, you did NOT just go there. This is a chick who's been reprimanded a number of times for her shoddy work due to her talking to her boyfriend on the phone for hours while she's entering data in the computer. So you can just imagine how her bitching at me about messing around went down.

Still, I stood my ground and let her have it. Apparently, I'm worth my salt, because the next day the agency was on the phone asking if I would still go in to work. I blew them off with by saying I had an appointment the next day, because if I'd started in on the fiasco, I'd never have let up. I actually did have an appointment to sign up for work at another agency, but it doesn't really matter, as the assignment was only for those two days, and they had extended it at the very last minute, which they're not really supposed to do. Whether or no, though, there is no fucking way in hell I am ever working in the same office with that bitch again.

I'm a little sorry it ended like that, because I've been on and off there for almost a year, but like I said, too far to travel for too little money, etc., etc. PonyGirl (that's what Spike calls her) and her bullshit were just the icing on the cake. Bad enough to get me right out that door, though. I am hoping it doesn't cause too much trouble for Spike (who was carpooling over there with me), but hey, as a wise man once said,
