Free Coffee Trumps No Free Coffee

My boss sent me an invite for coffee today and to discuss my time here at the Allen Institute. Yesterday marked my 3 month anniversary, so I suppose this shouldn't come as a surprise. However, I only pieced together that I've been here 3 months now after getting the invite. What this means: I will either be offered a full time position here, or my contract with be severed and I'll go back to the unemployment life. For a while now I've been saying I don't mind what happens with my contract. For the most part, that's true because while I don't mind the work or a steady paycheck, the commute is long and I'd have more time on my hands at home to research Library Science programs as well as being able to volunteer more time at the library getting my feet wet in that lifestyle.

However, after getting the invite, I have turned into a complete nervous wreck. There is no need for it, but I am certainly surprised at my reaction to the possibilities of what is to come. There are pros and cons to each way this could go but at least I'll get a free coffee out of it, right?

Stay tuned.
