Contract-to-hire (con't, again)

Today , work was mind numbing. I spent most of my 8 hours looking at websites and checking my e-mail instead of doing work. I am counting down the days until my contract expires and I can leave. The people I work with loathe being there, as do I, which makes me not regret my decision to decline a full-time position. I think I have been spoiled by the last company I worked for, were everyone seemed to like what they did. Not at this company. Everyone seems pained to be there and I can't be in a place like that because it is too depressing.

The one interesting moment at work happened when I was asked one of the questions I fear -- "Do you have a girlfriend?" I fear this question mainly because I don't like to give the details about my private life...well, except on my blog. I also fear this question because you never know how people could react if they are told that someone they work with is gay. Considering that I have only worked there for two days, it is highly unlikely that I would "come out" to these co-workers; although conversely one of my co-workers has disclosed his messy divorce and the fact that he adopted his ex-wife child from another marriage. Maybe I just have odd ability that makes people want to tell the sorted details of their lives.

I should hear from a company that I intervied for a week ago about possible employment. Wish me luck -- I SAID wish me luck, darn it!
