Still Standing

Well, I had my probationary six month review today though I’ve been here since April 5th. Apparently, my boss has a history of getting in trouble for missing review deadlines. :crazy:

A logical, less paranoid person would have not been worried at all. After all, I’ve gotten two raises since arriving, been made a permanent employee, given a beeper to wear 24/7, been added to the on-call rotation, and been put on several big projects.

However, I’m a parnoid person and the timing was bothersome and also the fact that FW didn’t bring the on-call pager to hand over to me today and has to run home to get it and hasn’t left though I’m leaving in about an hour; the paranoid little voice inside whispered that maybe he knew I wasn’t going to be employed so he left it at home on purpose. Silly me.

Oh, and the irony of it all is that I was probably fired because I rocked the boat one too many times at my last job and I was a bit too brutally honest and demanded quite a bit. I was a diva to be sure. Yet, my new boss commented that he was concerned that I was a bit too quiet and that because of that, perhaps my needs weren’t being met since I hadn’t asked for much.

So, yay for being happily employed in Maine. Yay for being a bit more financially secure. Yay for snowing over my new boss into thinking I’m quiet. Yay for not having to take down all of those pictures I just hung up.

I seem to have contracted some sort of allergic pink eye. Bleh. Happens every few years. I generally feel it coming on and I still have medicine from a few years ago. Still, it’s bleh until it goes away. Bleh. Bleh. Bleh.
