Well, consider me part of the group that doesn't know where I'll be working in 6 weeks...

I've been working as a contractor for Coca-Cola for the last 4 months, and since about 40% of the workforce here is considered full time contract, I didn't think too much about it. (Two people in my group have been contracting for 5+ years.)
My current contract is through 12/28, so due to budget cuts, I may not get a renewal for the first of the year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my contract lead here can find me another position (and quickly), otherwise I have to start looking for another company... which I don't want, since this is my dream job (or at least a full-time permanent version of this is).
