I was finally hired full time at my work place last Tuesday.

It is quite the thing really, I've been working here since the middle of 2017, despite working 40 hours every week except for ones with holidays for over 2 years I was still considered temp, and I got jack shit for that. For my 1st year I only got minimum wage, and the start of year 2 they gave us a poultry 75 cents raise. It wasn't until this past July they gave us a raise to $10 an hour, which was better than minimum, but still bullshit considering I was doing the same work that other guys were getting paid over double for. Having been doing this for over 2 years and having been passed over for hire 5 times it really felt like I was stuck inside of one of those mouse wheels, going nowhere. The idea of me getting hired felt elusive by that point.

And then we got a new boss a couple months ago, and he saw to it that me and two other guys were all hired full time. I got hired last Tuesday, and became part of the union last Saturday. It still hasn't set in yet that I'm making a lot more money (won't see that check until after Christmas cause paid every 2 weeks), and now I have paid sick days and personal days. Come January 1st I'll have health insurance for the first time in like a decade. And the nice thing is for me as an individual it's at no expense. Still hasn't set in yet that I've finally been hired though. I don't think it will set in until next Thursday when I've been out of work for a week for Christmas break but I still get paid the full amount I'm due.
