[QUOTE="klmno, post: 386863, member: 3699"] As far as the bankruptcy, while no one is proud of it and most consider it worse than being behind on bills, big corporations and government actually prefer bankruptcy to being behind on bills and having that outstanding debt. I learned that when things fell thru with that job last year. That is one of the main reasons I took my last $1300 and filed for it then started selling things. Still, I'm definitely not telling everyone I meet and so far I think the only person who knows is my boss. My connections to more contacts in the department where I really want to work- as a full time permanent employee- are starting to gorw little by little. Every time boss is out of town, which is often, the client's rep gets me one step closer. I think he and have have similar goals. :) Another thing that's helping- al;l of us there have some sort of military connection in our background, have pets, families, live ITRW so to speak with real life problems,....except for boss. He has none of this. He's worried about others sticking out but he doesn't see that he's the one that looks a little odd to the rest of the people. He's ok, just a little Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)'ish. And all that talk about the contract possibly not being extended- I realize there are no guarantees but apparently it's been extended the past five years. And this clients' rep who I keep referring to has a lot to do with it and he sits right behind me and likes me. Now, if I can just keep boss from going off on anymore tangents regarding me and my job! [/QUOTE]
