     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
