I'm in the office on my own as everyone has either gone home or alternatively gone for Christmas lunch.
It's not that I didn't want to go for Christmas lunch moreso that I am skint.
I find it interesting being a temp how the attitudes of employers can vary so much. I was speaking to someone in the offices across the way from us who informed me that their temps were getting paid for a part of the Christmas break. Cool I thought it will obviously be the same for me, however, after speaking to the boss the best we could arrive at was that in the week following Christmas I get to work three days.
It sucks...well and truly...big time. At least it means that I have some money coming into the account though and I should be able to pay my rent without too many problems.
I think offices should look after their temps moreso. I mean it's not my fault I cannot work over the Christmas period due to office closures etc. as a result I am still available and should be paid. Doesn't work like that though does it!
Anyway I am off in twenty minutes to see the girl and hopefully have a nice meal with her!
