My part-time temp job is over

Tweet

I had a part-time temp job this month that involved helping out with the sample sale. The first week involved getting ready for the sample sale. I had to move big boxes of clothing, unpack the clothes inside, neatly fold them and spread them out on tables, arranging them by color, and cashmere/non-cashmere. The second week was the actual sample sale. I had to keep the clothes in neat piles, pick up clothes that fell to the floor and make sure that the piles weren't mixed up. I also helped out customers and offered them bags to put the clothes in, so they wouldn't have to hold it in their hands while looking at other stuff. The third week involved taking all the clothes that hadn't been purchased, folding it and putting it back into boxes and taping the boxes up. Thankfully, I didn't need to carry the heavy boxes back into their storage space. Although, had they asked me to do it, I would do it because that would mean making some more money. The temp job involved moving a lot of boxes, a lot of bending down, endless folding and unfolding of clothes, ripping boxes apart, taping up a lot of boxes... and all that under hot track lights that made me sweat a lot. It was a bittersweet moment yesterday because it was the last day of the job. I was relieved and a bit happy that it was over because it was very exhausting for me. The money wasn't bad though and for only six days of work. Plus, I got paid in cash, which was awesome. On the other hand, it was a bit sad for me because that's it for income coming in. And my days aren't set either. It's back to staying home until something else comes up and trying to figure out how to occupy my time without losing my mind from boredom or dullness. I now have to search for a job, which I haven't done for many months. But who knows if anything will result from sending out resumes? So, far it hasn't lead to anything. This temp job was through my sister-in-law, in the company she works at. They didn't ask for my resume or ask me to interview. They just asked me to do this job, I agreed, did the work and then got paid. Would be great if all jobs were like that where a person was just hired on the spot.
