Have I mentioned that there are now officially less than 10 full days of work left in my contract, and I still have no confirmation whether or not it’s being renewed?
No point in worrying about what you can’t control, etc. But that doesn’t make it any easier. I’m so riddled with anxiety I could throw up. I wish I just knew one way or the other. Then at least I could get on with my life instead of living in limbo.
Update (3:15pm) – and just as I was about to toss my cookies tofu lo-mein, we were told that all contract employees have been extended for 6 months. Yay!
Ha! No return trips to Ikea after all! I can just imagine the party that is happening there tonight.
i’m glad to hear! they’d be a fool to let you go
That’s a huge relief!!!! (((hugs)))
BTW, what happened to your design? Heh.
I think you should take me for dinner as a celebration to your contract extention!
*phew*
BTW- thanks for the X-Mas card!
Wow, I just commented, refreshed, and saw the good news. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 🙂
If you haven’t already, march into the office of whomever you need to speak to and ask to know. Tell them that you’d like to stay (I assume that’s true), but if they intend to go in another direction you need to know.
Any non-contract job would give 2 weeks notice, and although that’s not always possible with contracts, they should at least give you some indication. Whatever happens, I send my best hopes your way!
I wish I had to worry about being in a contract. I would write mine up for three weeks of vacations… and at least a four figure salary!! Imagine the endless possibilies… the meals… the bus passes… the ah… girls?
Well, good luck with the signature… the rest of us can only dream.
Hey, and I’m at the other end… I just signed my first employment contract today in close to 8 years! Wow, does that feel weird.
Do you have a supervisor you could ask about this? That seems a little nuts!!
hmm, that seems mean, having a contract that expires at christmas.
What are you talking about, the limbo is fun!
