The Aerie

Phew

Ah, happiness. When i returned from the Big Trip, my job had changed. My boss, the woman who hired me, had moved to a different department, leaving me in the care of some other people who were perfectly nice, but who weren't my boss. At some point I was sure they were going to look at their ledger and note that I am a much more expensive consultant than most and let me go. And since my contract was due to expire in a month, that was when I figured it would happen.

Happily, my old boss called me from her new position and asked me to move over with her. This makes me very happy, because I like my boss and she knows what my skills are and how best to put me to use. That way I can actually earn my exorbitant salary and keep working, rather than being assigned to tasks best done by others, and getting canned.

On top of everything else my contract was renewed for six months, which makes me oh-so-happy-you-don't-know it. Really, altogether a lucky and wonderful development.

There wil lbe some changes, but even these may be good. I may end up being able to work from home some days, which would be great: I may end up having to drive to work some days, which would be OK but not great. But these changes, these inconveniences, are as nothing next to getting to work at a good rate of pay on stuff I like to do for someone I like to work for.

And to on top of it all not have to worry about my contract for another six months, well...

Hooray!
