I'm currently sort of (because there's no official end date) finishing up my second temping assignment. I like this company a lot better than the previous one and wouldn't mind staying here. However, the company isn't doing all that great financially and there really isn't enough for me to on a full time basis (I'm currently surfing the web and twirling my thumbs for good part of each day) and I'm not sure they'd pay what I want.
I just told my boss that I'd like to end the assignment in two weeks as I have a friend from overseas who's coming to visit for two weeks. He practically begged me to consider some sort of a part time arrangment during that period. I know this is partly because there's a Board of Directors meeting in the middle of that timeframe and he'll need help preparing for it. The BOD materials are due on the 13th and he told my temp agency that he'd like to re-evaluate my position (go perm or end) on the 15th. I most likely could do a couple of mornings, while my friend is here on the days that DH doesn't start until later or is off for the day. But I don't want to put in the time that's inconvinient for me while not getting paid much for it and then be dropped like a pile of hot bricks after the 13th.
Should/can I tell him that I'll only do it if he's ready to offer me something? Is it even worth it if the company isn't doing well and they don't even need another analyst? I'm pretty sure that he'll be perfectly fine without me and I'll only make about $300 post taxes for those few days.
