What the fucking fuck!

Some background info:
  1. My contract expires July 29th.
  2. I'm taking over admin assistant duties because the woman who was the Admin Asst to the Executive Coordinator has left. So, I am the go-between in the office. For example, if someone needs his signature, they'll give me the document, and I give it to Frank (or put it on his desk, etc.). When he signs it, he puts it in his out tray and I redistribute it back to the person who requested the signature.
So, about an hour ago, the Human Resources Assistant came over to me to give me something for Frank to sign. A contract. My contract. And I was kind of like, "Umm... the contract is already signed." She said, "It is?" And I said something like, "Yeah, a long time ago/when I started working." And she said, "Until the end of August?" And then my eyes bugged out.

Apparently, they extended my contract without asking or saying anything to me. Not that it's binding, because I haven't signed it, but usually they ask first. And I can't even ask Cecilia, the HR Coordinator, because she's on leave until August 9th.

And we all know about my sending out resumes and stuff. And scheduling interviews. Aarrgh. Now what?! I asked her to hold onto it until tomorrow so I could think about it because it totally came out of left field. Forget left field. It came from outer space!

Basically, my dilemma is: Do I extend my contract and possibly lose a potential steady job somewhere else? Do I not extend my contract and maybe not get any of the jobs I interview for and then lose out on the money I could've made for the month of August? alndsflafdlsjk! This is so unfair.

I'm going to go on these interviews I have. (Actually, I'm not putting to much into the real estate one, I don't have much faith in my ability to sell real estate... then again, I just remembered, it's renting apartments in NYC, not selling houses, so it just might be easier...) I'm going to see if they can wait for an answer until early next week, so I have some idea of the possibility of me getting one of these jobs. I know there's no guarantee, but it would have been nice to have been informed a bit earlier, dammit.
