My three month probation period at the Lab is up next week, but my boss is going to be in Toronto during my D-Day. To ward off any nasty surprises, I went into his office today to ask.
Me: So, my probation is up next week .. uh .. are you gonna keep me?
Nicknameless Boss: What, are you crazy? You’re awesome! That’s a no-brainer!
Me: Hooray!
I am incredibly gunshy when it comes to job stability, something my boss is actually aware of. At any rate, I am still employed, and will be even after the three month “try before you buy” period is up.
Take that, Space!

Ha, yes, I know how you feel, I was wondering at my space station too but when the office admin started handing me health plan forms to fill in a few weeks before the 3 month mark, I figured it was all good. And now I have business cards!
Yeah, anytime someone asks me to come see them, I start mentally packing my shit in a cardboard box. Ha.
Congrats!
Space can suck it. And astronauts have terrible hair because of those helmets they have to wear. Speleologists are far sexier – they get harnesses and rope! It’s like bondage only underground!
