Only other advice I can think of is ramp up your self care and try not to think about work when you’re not there.

Bad sitcoms definitely serve a purpose in real life, right?!
I'm definitely ramping up my self-care. The temp agency recruiters at another agency are stonewalling me from submitting me to active roles, by lying (and I don't know why they do, other than they don't like me). Example, I sent my references over for a role the recruiter told me I would be a good fit for.
Two weeks went by with no update from the recruiter, so I reached out to ask her for an update. I mentioned that I checked with my references whether or not the recruiter contacted them (the recruiter hadn't yet), and asked her why she hadn't contacted my references two weeks ago.
The recruiter's lying response to me via email; that the company hadn't sent over details of the position (she forgot she'd EMAILED ME the details of the position) yet, and she couldn't check my references until she had those details. Total baloney of course. I've been in the temp agency world for decades and I know when I'm being blackballed.
So, lots of self-care going on. I'm still at the six week temp job at least so I have income for the next few weeks at least.

I have and they pay $7/hr despite their marketing online of paying $15-20/hr. Just not true. And I have zero desire to wakeup at 3 a.m. to teach to students in other countries for such low pay with no guarantee I'd be paid regularly. I appreciate the suggestion.
I'm applying to other online jobs that I can do alongside the 6 week temp job. Haven't received any responses yet but its so close to the holidays I may not hear anything for a couple of weeks until after NYE is over.
