Thankless task?

My immediate boss just reluctantly gave me the "thankless task" of bringing our diagnostic and other textual output up to a newly-imposed standard of comprehensibility, localizability and meaningfulness. I'm actually looking forward to the job. It will take 2-3 weeks, I would assume, and has several benefits to me:

1. Its very unlikely that I'll end up stuck in a crisis during the work on this. Yay for going home on time!
2. I'll actually have an in-work excuse to read through all of the source code. Its stupid, but although I'm supposed to be familiar with the source code, this shop doesn't believe in ever devoting time to either training or learning anything. So, this gets me some needed studying, while being done on work time.
3. By the time the job is finished, by 3-month internship will be over, and firing me suddenly requires cause. I'll feel much easier about complaining about working conditions and/or shopping around my resume after that.

Long Day.

It was a long day at work today. I found out that the higher-ups are well aware of the fact that my 3 month trial period ends at the end of this month, and they aren't sure if they're gonna keep me or not. I can't say I'm very thrilled at the prospect of either keeping my job or losing it. It somewhat seems like a lose-lose situation.

If I keep my job, then I'll still be working a place that makes chaos look orderly.

If I lose the job, then I'll very quickly need to come up with some new source of income, as I won't have been there long enough to earn any EI.

Oh well, at this point Que Sera Sera. I'm going to do my best not to worry about it.
