Basically, here's the situation...I got a summer job up at Yale working in Cluster Support Services. Basically, my boss is the glorified gofer(gofer this, gofer that) and pretty much everything gets laid down on me. When I was interviewed, I agreed to work until 8/31/02, and that I could have some time off(no time was specified).
Now I started working here the day after the Spring semester ended, and will continue to work until like ~3 days before the Fall semester begins, but I really don't want to work straight through and right into school, because I'll have blown my whole summer and gotten no time off. Middle of last week my boss comes to me and tells me that if I want some time off to take it in the next couple of weeks because we'll be really busy in Mid->Late August, so I thought about it and decided to take the 29th -> 2nd off, and that was cool, but over the weekend I thought about it and changed my mind to just work straight until August 21st and leave myself ~10 days before the semester started up, knowing that my boss wouldn't be to happy, but not really caring...
So I come into work this morning, and he's kinda quiet, doesn't mention anything about the email til like 2 hours into the morning, and says "yeah my superiors weren't to happy with that, they might wanna talk to you." So now I'm like ah WTF.
His boss takes me and him outside to talk, telling me that they're pleased w/ the work that I've done so far, but that this disappoints them. Then he goes to give his views on my situation, one being the "Fatherly"(huh?) viewpoint, and that is that he's happy with my work, but if I'd like to come back next summer, and I quote: "Hey I really like that kid Ben, he worked out well, but he fvcked us over at the end of the summer". And I'm standin there like
WTF Then his other viewpoint is that I'm just a temp employee and there's really nothing that he can do about it, etc etc...
He gave me until tommorow morning to reconsider staying through the end of the summer(and get the 29th -> 2nd off again). He told me that if I chose to stay that all this would be forgotten. Personally, I'm not really happy with the job and don't wanna come back, but it is Yale, and it'll probably look nice on my resume, and I don't wanna leave a bad impression(It's not my intention to screw them) incase I use them for a reference.
So what do you guys think? Stick it out for the summer, or leave myself some time before school...
