OMG!

OK, I'm blogging from work, bad me...
So, I was opening the post just now, and I found an invoice from the temping agency for my services...
It's ridiculous! The agency are getting basically twice what they're paying me - I mean, I know they're obviously going to take some for their stuff, or they wouldn't make any money, but seriously, they're making as much out of my work as I am?
This makes me more tempted to go for the permanent position that I'm currently filling in for - because obviously I should be in for a pretty big pay rise if I got it...
Hmm.
Actually, I can't believe what I do is worth that much money. They're crazy! I wouldn't pay that much for me...

Hi there!
I know this isn't really relevany to your post, but I've been a huge fan of yours for ages and ages. And I finally joined LJ, hope you don't mind that I've friended you? And, you couldn't by chance direct me towards your Kittyhawk masterlist, could you?
Thanks a bunch!
Danielle
P.S.: You're totally worth it ;) trust me!

But but but I thought you said they said you can do what you please when there's no actual work to be done! :-)

Just pretend you're the CEO of a huge company. They get MILLIONS for just showing up occasionally :P

Well, they did, but I still feel a bit guilty about it...
But I totally shouldn't, because earlier today I saved their asses when none of them could work their intranet...

Yes, you totally shouldn't! And it's the bounden duty of us Shining Beings to help out the clue-impaired...at last when we're getting paid for it :D

Erm..._ALL_ temp agencies charge the client, that is, the company that need the warm body, approximately double what they pay the warm body itself. My mum, who has been an accounts clerk all her working life, was once in the position of paying the invoices for her own hiring fees :-) In IT, it can be hundreds an hour.

I'm in the wrong business! Actually, that's somewhat true, but not for monetary reasons necessarily. I'd be bored out of my skull in IT.
