I was hired as a temporary full time exhibit developer, to expire when the exhibit opens. That should be next April, but the opening was delayed for a year. At the announcement of the delay, I asked if that meant my expiration would also be delayed for a year. My boss told me no, but they would consider extending the contract somewhat. And never got back to me about it.
Now that there are only 8 months between me and the end of my contract I’ve asked again about my expiration date. My boss finally got back to me today and asked what I wanted to do next. Sort of put me on the spot, but I tried to be as honest as possible. She suggested places to look for jobs. She told me she’d be willing to extend my contract X number of months.
Literally, she said “X.”
So, I officially know exactly as much coming out of the meeting as I knew going in. Do I need to keep applying for jobs? sigh.
How could I not be laughing at this? It’s really funny. I am still in job limbo, but hell, X!
EDIT: she also told me I would be better at my job if I could relax. :D
