Tweetskillet,
If you could PM me, that'd be great. I've been a feeder temp for six years. I know the 5 seeing habits backwards and forwards, and I've done tons of shifting, or course. I have no accidents, and never called in sick.
I am thinking about coming out to SDFAS because I hear its a lot easier to get on perm. there.
Where I work, I know of three different guys who were feeder temps for over 9 years, before they had to finally give up. You get lost in the "system".
