It's not joking matter

matilda36On Friday, I spoke with my boss about my contract. I was worried, because I am emploied through special disable lists and they have to approve my contract to see that it's the right fit for my condition.
He said not to worry, that he was dealing with it. A couple of phone call later he told me that not only he had fixed it, but that he had managed to get me a permanent contract. I was so happy that I kissed him. I was nearly crying.
Then he left for the day.
Then I turn over and one of my colleagues, one that I call a friend told me that he was only joking about the permanent contract, that they had just extended it till the end of the year, and that he hadn't wanted to tell me it was a joke because I was so happy.
I felt foolish, but I believed her. My boss has a quirky sense of humour and I call(ed) her a friend.
On Sunday I was talking to one of my managers and asked her when my new contract was going to expire. She looked me weird and told me that my boss had to wrangle a bit, but that they are making it a permanent one.
So, my so called friend had plaied a prank on me. A cruel one too. I am trying to decide if to forgive her or not.
But I am celebrating my new gainful employment. Earlier this year I posted saying that if I could just have my new car and a permenent position I would be... content. And I am. My life's not perfect, but for the first time in a long while, I can see clearly my future in front of me.
And I like what I see.
