127. Temping, but couldn't even get an agency to bite
You can get bennies from agencies. I temp through the company directly. This means no holiday pay, no sick time, no bennies of any kind. I've been a temp for over a year and worked my way to a supervisory position. Still a permatemp. I supervise regulars who make more than I do.

Maybe when my field opens up enough to generate less than 500 resumes per job opening, I might start looking again. Meanwhile, the supervisory XP will at least help my resume.

I'm really getting tired of having to pay my dues every few years.
