Access question: I have a numeric field that ultimately needs a negative number in it. - Will Hunting Jul 22, 06:35 2

So, I have an interview in 45 minutes for a permanent job - but one that I have a feeling is low paying. I just got a phone call from the temp agency - kelly Jul 22, 06:19 10
- Ultimately, it's which ever job you like more. The permanent job may pay less but if you feel you like it, you'll surely stick around longer and... - Mop Jul 22, 06:57 1
  - (plus, as a married person, benefits are a nonfactor. so the big win now may be worth more in the long run as well.) -- nm - workmanda Jul 22, 07:00
- depends on the benefits and job security at the permanent gig -- nm - decline Jul 22, 06:22
- Does the permanent job include benefits? What about the quality/type of work you'd be doing with each? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 22, 06:20 6
  - both crappy office work (phones, data entry) - I don't know about benefits yet. - kelly Jul 22, 06:21 5
    - i might be tempted to go 'temp' (are you covered by Will's health care right now?). then you can look for a more appealling permanent position. - Andie Jul 22, 07:00
    - I usually base my opinion on benefits becuase of my kids. ymmv. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 22, 06:58
    - oh. (I assume you have already, but have you applied for any office jobs with the govt yet? We could certainly use a good person right now, ours - Don Homer Jul 22, 06:30 2

  - well, i can't now, really (at work). it's really deep but REALLY thin. i just expected it would start to heal quickly. - Andie Jul 22, 06:18 7
    - thinness doesn't matter, you need stitches. and you didn't confirm that the cut is on the side so I hope it is? -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 06:29 1
      - yeah, it's on the side. my finger works fine (just can't bend because of the bandage itself.) -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 06:32
