Anybody else work in one? Bust their fuckin ass off for low wage Oh but the benefits... oh yes, the benefits The mandatory overtime is getting old quick At least I'm not in a goddamn plastic factory or die-casted aluminum foundry anymore
No music to propel the endorphs tho It's funny, everytime someone has to announce something over the 'com, it feeds back horribly and very loudly
I just yell "who fukin caresssss" or "next time, play some Skynard" like some senial old man
Feel like I'm livin 8 Mile Wish I could make guitars, synths, subs (I also built sub enclosures)... shit that makes a music maker happy

Be quite assertive with what you will and won't do. Try not to piss them off or they will badmouth to all the other agencies.
I suppose it depends how badly you want the work.

I am considering changing my job. Too dangerous. Too much bullshit. Not worth ten dollars an hour. Need something laid back...

I've heard some horror stories, that's for sure. Surely they can't all be bad though? Office Angels anyone? I just want to shuffle paper and bash my head on a keyboard for 8 hours a day, is that really so wrong?

Well, it depends on which agency you apply to. I've worked four about 5 diff. ones, and you basically get the shaft when it comes to benefits / medical / vacation time, etc.
IMO, if you can, get on with a company directly. I'm now working for the best company I've ever been with b/c of the benefits, raises every 90 days, vacation (they give you your fucking birthday off with full pay), the whole 9.
If you have to go thru a temp service until you get on, do your job, don't miss but don't put up with others' shit. I've worked with too many connies and shady bitches but I just pass em off and go about my shift unless they were to physically try to start something; Of course, I would go to the agency super then.
Oh yeah, think safety first. hahahahahaaaaa

I'd say avoid going to an agency. Just go it alone it's always the best way.
As forr factorry/ plant worrk I've neverr done it. I'm worrking in a warrehouse now, I've only just starrted and it's getting old fast. It's the most money I've everr been on though. Which isn't saying much. I'm going therre in the next half hourr. 8.30 starrts forr the firrst thrree days this week :) :) :)

Carl works in a warehouse. When Carl has lots of money and experience he will go elsewhere to work. Eventually Carl will be replaced by:
[ ] ro-bot [ ] little girl [ ] Carl mark II [ ] a junkie who will steal a forklift
