OK, I've been here for a year. Here is a contract job in a government funded non-profit. The pay is lousy, the benefits are paltry, the commute is an hour plus drive each way. On the job, I wait for people. I think my job should be called "senior waiter". Well, maybe not. "Waiter" implies "to wait on", as opposed to the defacto "to wait for". So maybe "senior waitee" is better.
However, looking at it from a larger perspective, it doesn't really matter. I will be leaving here shortly. After 10 years of contract work, watching my pay rate go down, down, down, the almost unthinkable has happened. I have been offered a direct position. The pay is much more, the benefits are fabulously better, the commute will involve leaving the car in the driveway while I walk to the train. On the job I suspect there will be very little waiting if history can be any judge at all.
Onward, upward, forward.
