PBX is opening a steady extra position. I'd really like to apply for it... I would probably get it, too.
However, being a steady extra for PBX means I'd have a high chance of losing my insurance from September to March every year, not making any money during those same months... and the current steadies have been steadies for 2 years now. PBX operators don't quit, or transfer. They die on the job... eventually. We've got some really old PBX operators at the hotel, easily past retirement age, but not quitting their jobs any time soon.
So due to the need for insurance and financial stability, I remain a night auditor. Which I loathe. My particular Skinner box offers very little in the way of rewards.
