I still have a job!
The end of my 3 month contract at work has been creeping up on me (I started on the 24th of May, so this Wednesday), and there was always this nasty little nagging doubt that they wouldn't want to extend (maybe I'm late too often, changed my days too often, working too slow, learning too slow, or they just weren't happy with this part time employee experiment that I am...). But on Friday they offered me another 3 month contract! (starting from Monday even though my current contract doesn't end until Wednesday, for bureaucratic convenince, I believe).
And thinking about it as I have been by worrying about not keeping my job, I know I really do like my current situation. It pays well while only taking up 3 days a week, I don't have too rigidly fixed start/finish times, the days I work are flexible, the people are great, the work has the potential to be really interesting (and often manages moderately interesting, even though I'm doing the boring drudge work as the newest, least experienced, and cheapest member of the team), my boss is easy going and understanding, they have a kitchen that provides soft drink and fruit...
In short, yay!
