A little job security today

I haven't had a normal permanent job in a while. My last permanent job was teaching Toddlers age 16 months to 2 yrs 9months. Before that job the last permanent job I had was with a Long Term Care Insurance company and that was at least 2 or 3 years ago. The Toddler job ended last year in May. So it's been almost a year since I exercised for 8 hours a day every day whether or not I wanted to. Since May I've done quite a few small temp jobs that led to no where quickly. I am currently working in an office environment that is laid back (jeans every day people . not just on Friday). I'm a temp and have been there for 6 weeks now. Well today I decided to basically check-in with my supervisor and make sure that Friday would not be my last day (the agency had told me at least 6 weeks duration). I was elated to find out that they love me and hope that I will be there for a long time. It made all the stress that I put myself through to be a fabulous worker worth it. I had already told my supervisor maybe a week or two ago that I love being there and should the opportunity to become permanent happen I would want to be considered. So her comment to me today made me happy and made me feel a little more secure about my job.
