2eclipseEDIT: confirmed. i have another 2 weeks to a month here.
people at my workplace are sometimes awfully silly.
they won't hire me because i'm nota 3m-er and they have to hire someone who got laid off somewhere else....but i'm filling in for A so that she can move to M's position because M got a new position elsewhere.
but the people here love me and want me hired. my new supervisor loves me - she tried to get me into her group when i was originally brought in, but my experience with electronics gave the austin team dibs on me. the EDI people love me. the vendormaster group loves me - and wants me hired because i actually understand how their side of the business works and i don't make their lives harder. my boss's boss took me aside and thanked me for staying....and none of it equals a continued paycheck.
A also took a couple of days off before the transition.
then she e-mailed in to say she'll be out til nov.3rd. not asking. telling. and my supervisor is covering her new position while she's out. this lasts longer than my last day (the 17th). so i went to D(my supervisor) and told her i'd be willing to move to cover for the position so she didn't have to...and she looked really relieved, but said she's actually hoping to keep me where i am longer and was hoping i'd be willing. they are still interviewing for the position. they haven't found anyone who suits. D thinks it will be the end of october at the earliest and more likely the middle of november....naturally i said yes...but that i will be out the 31st and let them know if i get a job in the meantime. so i should find out this week if my repreive has been extended.
