Meeting with the boss

I had a meeting today with “the big boss” who came all over from France and my boss to talk about how the company was going and how i was doing.

To sum up the 3h meeting: They’re happy with my performance so far and as I have said before, im happy too, so everyone’s happy. Good.

They shortened the 6 months trial work period to 4. They offered me a full work contract and I agreed (although no papers have been signed yet). What is also good is that i’m getting some goodies in this “new” stage: A car (all expenses paid including gas), a credit card and a cell phone. This of course have another side: Availability.

Its a tricky thing because i’m getting opposite things at the same time: Freedom of movement (i can keep the car for weekends and the cell phone for personal use too)  and at the same time I have to always be ready for work…mmm.

A picture has come up to my mind right now: Before I was a puppy that could run freely on the house’s backyard and now i became a dog that can walk as far as I want but with a chain around my neck.

The  message I get is “you’re free as long as we dont need you”. And something tells me they’re gonna need me and “use” me as much as they can. That’s the reality. But hey, i’m cool with that so far…

Any comments? (they will be highly appreciated)
