RE: THE THREAD!!!
File clerk, among a great many other things. I took on as many additional tasks as possible, both to satisfy my own need to do more stuff, and in a vain hope that maybe, just maybe, it could lead to permanent employment. It didn't.

Nope. 12 month standard contract, and that's it.

RE: THE THREAD!!!
It's okay. I knew the rules of the game from day 1, and I take a lot of personal satisfaction from the quality of work I've shown.
I've handled tens of thousands of patient files, on paper and electronically, talked to thousands of patients face-to-face and on the phone, assisted doctors and nurses at three different departments in-house and at several other hospitals and private practitioners, trained five other people to do the job and done that well...
The list is endless. I saw a statistic for the hospital the other day, where the average percentage of sick days for the whole hospital was 6.6%. Over the past 12 months, I've had exactly ZERO sick days.
Like I said, I'm happy with my performance. I haven't done it for salary (which wasn't high) and haven't done it to please any of my co-workers (although that's been successfully accomplished many times over). I've done it so I could look at myself in the mirror at the end of the work day and think "good job".

You guys do realize the NFL starts the regular season this week................real football[:D][:'(]
Who's your team, Bruce? I've always been a Browns fan, and always will be. [:D]
Having grown up 300 miles from the nearest NFL team I don't really have one. I just wanted to start a friendly discussion[:D]
Well, it worked and the arguments ensued. [:D]

Sorry to hear about that T. But, all things happen for a reason. There's something else out there. You just don't know about it yet.

i can't believe this: some things would be unfair or without explanation from a kind of fate or destiny. THe ugly always get right. The good always lose.... This, or destiny is just a silly and dark joke [:-]
i more think about absolute random...
Edit: this comment is NOT a direct attack on Mike thoughts. It is more a comment on my own believing. I intend to offense nobody !

I agree, Coffee on Monday is just to get going, coffee on Friday is more relaxing.
