  I hear ya there.  I've been in that situation pretty often in my last couple
of decades.
  Unfortunately the job that I was having these troubles at never really could
get its bits together with handling scheduling.  After my 3rd commute out to
the airport for a shift that they 'forgot' they had me on the schedule for I
ended up quitting, as well.  For the $10/hr that they were paying me it was
just destroying my already destabilized vehicle too fast, and the stress was
putting me into states that were not really condusive to a good employment
experience, to put things mildly.  The contract work is finally producing
hours, though, and it's managing to hold me over until I can find something
else around here to get me out and about and to cover some of those extra hours
a day that I could be doing more useful things in.  There's such labor
competition in this city, though.  I don't doubt that it's going to take
awhile.  Really glad I had the contract work to fall back on.
  There's definitely something to be said for the people willing to do that
kind of work.  When I've been in that situation I've found, more often than not
in my experience, that I was taken advantage of more than I've been recognized
for doing that.  I really wish it worked the other way around a little bit more
often.  Then again, I guess the old 'beggars can't be choosers' kind of applies
to the situation that I've been in, and still find myself at this point.  :P
